An event that connects rising regional filmmakers and eminent names from the world of film industry will be held in Slano and the Elaphite Islands from June 18th to 22nd, 2024.
Slano, one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, will host Slano Film Days for the first time in June. It is a unique format of events dedicated to film that connects rising regional filmmakers and prominent names from the world of film industry. The Slano Film Days program consists of film discussions, film screenings and numerous informal get-togethers. Freed from competitive pressure, young directors, actors and cinematographers have the opportunity to openly discuss the creative process of creating films with world film artists, winners of the most prestigious film awards. With Mirsad Purivatra, the founder and author of the Slano Film Days concept, they are bound by long-term professional cooperation, as well as friendship.
"A total of 17 young film artists received an invitation to participate in Slano Film Days, who will participate in film discussions in the fields of acting, directing or camera. Slano Film Days focuses on the creative process, film as art, leaving aside its commodity value. World-renowned filmmakers have the opportunity to share their experience, but also to be inspired by young talents who, in turn, have the opportunity to meet directly with some of the most important names from the world of the film industry, in a friendly and informal atmosphere. In this way, we contribute to the personal and professional development of film artists in the region,'' said Purivatra.
Nikola Knežić, the mayor of the Municipality of Dubrovačko Primorje, expressed his satisfaction with the recent holding of Slano Film Days, and he is sure that all participants and guests will enjoy the beauty of these areas during their stay in Slano. "On behalf of the Municipality of Dubrovnik Primorje, I can say that we are extremely satisfied that in this way we can support and improve the quality of the cultural offer in Slano, but also permanently establish this part of southern Dalmatia as a meeting place for filmmakers and professionals from the region and the world."
