Event
Information:
Outlook Festival takes place from
September each year at Fort Punta Christo, Pula, in Croatia, and is a
weekend of music covering the best
in reggae, hiphop, dubstep, broken
beat, drum & bass and dance-floor
soul music. The secluded site is by
the sea about 10 miles from Pula in
Croatia. The Croatian music
festivals are a series of music
festivals which showcase the top
Croatian musical acts, in both
traditional and contemporary music.
They usually involve live
performances as well as awards given
by festival jurors as well as from
the fans. The majority of the
festivals release a compilation of
the songs entered.
Pula
is the largest city in Istria
County, Croatia, situated at the
southern tip of the Istria
peninsula, with a population of
62,080 (2006). Like the rest of the
region, it is known for its mild
climate, smooth sea, and unspoiled
nature. The city has a long
tradition of winemaking, fishing,
shipbuilding, and tourism. Pula has
also been Istria's administrative
center since ancient Roman times.
The city lies on and beneath seven
hills on the inner part of a wide
gulf and a naturally well-protected
port (depth up to 38 metres (125
ft)) open to the northwest with two
entrances: from the sea and through
Fažana channel.
Today,
Pula's geographical area amounts to
5,165 hectares, 4,159 hectares on
land and 1,015 hectares (2,510
acres) at sea, bounded from the
north by islands Sv. Jerolim and
Kozada, city areas Štinjan, Veli Vrh
and Šijanic forest; from the east
area Monteserpo, Valmade, Busoler
and Valdebek; from the south with
the old gas works, commercial port
Veruda and island Veruda; and from
the west Verudela, Lungomare and
Musil. As a result of its rich
political history, Pula is a city
with a cultural mixture of people
and languages from the Mediterranean
and Central Europe, ancient and
contemporary. Pula's architecture
reflects these layers of history.
Residents are commonly fluent in
foreign languages, especially
Italian, often also German and
English. From 30 October 1904 to
March 1905 Irish writer James Joyce
taught English at the Berlitz
School; his students were mainly
Austro-Hungarian naval officers who
were stationed at the Naval
Shipyard. While he was in Pula he
organised the local printing of his
broadsheet The Holy Office, which
satirised both William Butler Yeats
and George William Russell.
