In the past several years, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre has supported a number of internationally acclaimed Croatian minority co-productions, including Infinity Pool by Brandon Cronenberg, Housekeeping For Beginners by Goran Stolevski, Excursion by Una Gunjak, Lost Country by Vladimir Perišić, Between Revolutions by Vlad Petri, Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The World by Radu Jude, Butterfly Vision by Maksym Nakonechnyi, Burning Days by Emin Alper, How I Learned To Fly by Radivoje Andrić, Bad Luck Banging Or Loony Porn by Radu Jude.
Minority Co-production Scheme provides funding for projects outside Croatia, but with Croatian participation. This is a selective scheme, with projects assessed solely on their artistic merit by appointed artistic consultants. Films supported through this scheme must be able to qualify as official co-productions under either bilateral treaties or the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production. Croatian co-producers interested in this support scheme can apply for funding upon the Centre’s call for applications, which is an open call with four annual submission deadlines.
Croatia is a signatory to the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production and has bilateral co-production agreements with Canada, France, Germany and Italy. It is a member of the European Co-production Fund Eurimages and the EU Creative Europe Programme/MEDIA sub-programme.
