“Avvantura Festival Filmforumzadar” was founded in 2010 by Sergej Stanojkovski with the long term objective to create a platform for European Co-Productions and professional filmmakers, to develop the Zadar region as a filmdestination and create a wider platform as a hub for the audiovisual creative industry in the Dalmatian region. From the beginning The Subslogan 2010 was : “YEAR ZERO – European Co Production meets filmset Zadar”.
The aim and objective was and is to focus the festival on European films and European Coproductions, from short- and studentfilms, through arthouse and experimental films to great mainstream productions. Our aim is to create a spot exchange of useful information, conversation and cooperation. From the first moment we invite professionals to our festivals.
In the first edition Jurymembers were Dr Peter Zawrel (Head of Vienna Filmfund), Victor Carrera Brusotto (Documentarist), Tomi Salkovski (DOP and Producer), Rada Šešić (Filmmaker, Selector of Sarajevo FF, IDFA, Rotterdam and Cinemart), Sascha Lobo (famous german Blogger). We selected a majority of european films but always considered to present projects that have been co-produced, like “Son of Babylon” that won the Award for Best European Coproduction, an Iraqi-UK French-Dutch-UAE-Egyptian-Palestinian Co-Production and invited the director Mohamed Al Daradji. We presented the Austrian-French-German Co-Production “Lourdes” and invited DOP Martin Gschlacht who won an Award. Tom Ford ́s Film “A Single Man” was presented at our festival by Spanish DOP Eduard Grau, a young Cinematographer who grows from film to film. In 2012 we presented his film “Finisterrae” that was introduced by producer Luis Minarro of “Eddie Saeta”, one of the Co-Producers of “Uncle Bonmee”.Director Danilo Šerbeđija presented his debut-film “72 Days”, a Croatian-Serbian Co-Production.

At the very first moment we have also created the “Special Tomislav Pinter Award”, named after one of the most productive croatian and european filmmakers, Tomislav Pinter. This Award is given every year to a personality who supports and contributes to Independent Film and the international Cineman.
