Croatia joins European film organisation
16 October 2008
A national film centre in Croatia is set to join the European Union's network of film promoters which is expanding it membership.
The Croatian Audiovisual Centre in Zagreb will join Serbia's Film Centre as one of the two newest members of the European Film Promotion (EFP).
With 29 members from 30 countries across Europe, the film organisation is a network of film promotion and export organisations based in Hamburg, Germany.
Renate Rose, managing director of the EFP, said filmmakers from central and eastern Europe can give a lot of input to those in western countries.
"This offers new subject matter, other narrative forms and a different aesthetic. Moreover, it also provides a new market," he added.
Recently the EFP, which is supported by the European Union, showcased the work of eastern European filmmakers at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
The Croatian Audiovisual Centre was founded in January 2008 and is funded through the government.
