FOREWORD

A fter a short period of stagnation caused by the Homeland War and eco-
nomic problems, Croatian film is witnessing much better days. Numer-
ous domestic and international awards, the renewed interest of the public and
more intensive media coverage of domestic film achievements testify to this. The
screenings of Croatian films is no longer a rarity on the repertoires of nation-
al cinema theatres, and the present number of viewers of Croatian film in the
country can compete with attendance rates of foreign blockbusters. The value of
Croatian films has been recognized at numerous international festivals at which
they have gained not only wide acclamation but received a number of awards,
asserting the fact that Croatian film is slowly but surely finding its place on the
world film scene.
The inclusion of the Republic of Croatia and its active participation in the
structures of the European Union’s acquis communautaire which is underway also
provides for the implementation of a more long-term cultural policy strategy in
the audiovisual field. This allows for the increased production, promotion and
distribution of national film, support of domestic audiences, international co-
operation and networking and thereby creating a longer term impetus-providing
creative and artistic impulse.
The quality of recent Croatian films is being regionally and internationally
recognised.
About ten fiction feature-length films were made in 2006 as well as several
documentaries. The production’s main characteristics are stylistic, thematic and
genre variety of a high aesthetic quality. The contemporary panorama of Croatian
film includes, on an equal basis, the works of already established directors and of
the new sensibility of the younger generation of directors.
Croatian cinema confirms itself also through numerous co-productions,
mostly with neighbouring countries including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia
and Serbia. Foreign productions are also returning to Croatia due to our interest-
ing locations, very satisfying logistics, as well as professional services we render.
Last autumn the Hollywood production of Proljetni praznici u Bosni (Spring Break
in Bosnia) was being filmed in Croatia staring the famous Richard Gere. For the
first time, the Eurimages financed one Croatian film – Karaula by Rajko Grlić.
Croatia also participated in co-production of Grbavica by Jasmila Žbanić, the
winner of Golden Bear in 2006.
That kind of reaffirmation of film in Croatia is supported by many domestic
film festivals (there are about 20 of them) and by the most important co-finan-
ciers, the Croatian National Television and Ministry of Culture of the Republic of
Croatia which increased their support for the year 2007 by 30 %.
Last, but not least, the Croatian cinema theatres had 3 million visitors in 2006
which is 25% more compared to the year before. The most encouraging is a fact
that among the best box-office results were several domestic hit films (domestic
films participate with 10% in annual cinema box-office). What is a Man without
a Moustache, a romantic comedy by Hrvoje Hribar, with 150 thousand visitors is
placed second on the annual box-office report, following Borat, the global phe-
nomenon by Sacha Baron Cohen. Among top ten there is one more domestic film
– The Ghost in the Swamp, by Branko Ištvančić – the first children’s film made af-
ter many years which gives us even more hope that the national cinematographic
expression is expending in the right direction.
