Interviews on recent success stories from Croatian cinema.

Lucija Mrzljak

My first works as illustrator were a collaboration with Estonian author Indrek Koff and the translation of that book (Flowers of Fever) was recently published by publisher Mala zvona in Zagreb. In Croatia, my first collaboration was with Olja Savičević Ivančević and her book Moj prijatelj Mačkodlak won the Grigor Vitez Award for illustration. The translation of that book will soon be published in Estonia.

What do our filmmakers say

"For me, art is the way I speak in society, a tool I use to express myself."
Ana Hušman
Ana HušmanVisual artist
"But what I find fantastic is how much this award has sparked conversations about my film and Croatian cinema in general."
Nebojša Slijepčević
Nebojša SlijepčevićDirector, Winner of the Short Film Palme d'Or
"The short form is extremely demanding, and it’s not easy to create a well-rounded whole in a very limited time."
Ivan Ramljak
Ivan RamljakDirector and selector for the International Film Festival Rotterdam
"A format where you can play as much as you want, explore, and try out new ideas."
Sara Grgurić
Sara GrgurićDirector
"Dramaturgy in short film, directorial approach, the themes you can explore through short films – this form is truly much more than just a stepping stone to feature films."
Tina Tišljar
Tina TišljarProducer
"Short film teaches us that less is more; it teaches us the true meaning of the words redundant and concise in the context of film time; it also teaches us that basically all we need is one motive to create and develop a story."
Zvonimir Jurić
Zvonimir JurićFilm director
"I see awards as a byproduct of immense work, not just mine, but of everyone involved in the film."
