About the Adelaide Croatian Film Festival

The Croatian Community Council of South Australia, in association with Croatia House, is proud to announce the inaugural Adelaide Croatian Film Festival 2022, screening at the Regal Theatre, Kensington Park, from the opening night of Friday 7th to Sunday 9th October 2022.

Although only a small country with a population of just over 4 million, Croatia has been producing feature films since the early 1900s. Currently, Croatia produces between 5 to 10 feature films per year and six of these will be showcased during our 3-day Festival.

Encompassing genres from feature-length documentaries to drama and comedy, the inaugural Adelaide Croatian Film Festival offers attendees a broad suite of films that are entertaining, provocative, and insightful. Through the powerful medium of cinema, audiences can connect with Croatian culture in a stimulating and contemporary way.

Opening Night (Friday 7/10/22 @ 8 pm) features the 2021 Winner of the Camera d’Or at Cannes MURINA (The Moray Eel), is a coming-of-age story set on Croatia’s stunning Adriatic Coast. This will be Adelaide’s only opportunity to see this lauded film, directed by one of the country’s hottest emerging female filmmakers – Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović and Executive-Produced by Martin Scorsese.
