Croatian Films Screening in Cannes:
THE HIGH SUN by Dalibor Matanić
2015 | 123' | Colour | Drama
This is no ordinary story of boy-meets-girl. Two young people fall in love, but they come from neighbouring villages, divided by different religions and different ethnicities. The people around them disapprove strongly and are dead-set against their relationship – it is difficult to overcome a deep-rooted hatred. The story is told in three parts, each taking place at a ten-year interval, from the early 1990s to the present. We follow six different lovers over three consecutive decades, each character in each decade played by the same actor. By speaking about the inter-ethnic hatred that is so well known in our region, our story aims to speak of hatred in general – the hatred and mistrust of the Other.
Produced by Ankica Jurić Tilić (Kinorama)
Co-produced by Gustav film (SLO), SEE Film Pro (RS)

SICK by Hrvoje Mabić
2015 | 95’ | Colour | Documentary
This film tells the tragic story of Ana Dragičević from Rijeka, who was committed to the psychiatric institution of Lopača at the age of sixteen in an attempt to ‘cure’ her of homosexuality. It asks whether the injustice she experienced is merely an aberration in a system that normally functions well, or a symptom of a more widely accepted social climate which can serve as a metaphor for a ‘sick’ society. Above all, this is an emotional film about a girl who needs to re-establish her faith in people...
Produced by Morana Komljenović (Fantastično dobra institucija Fade in)
Co-produced by Zagreb film and Drugi plan

CROATIAN AUDIOVISUAL CENTRE
As a main audiovisual agency in Croatia, the Centre has the overall responsibility for the growth of Croatia’s audiovisual industry. Its remit ranges from supporting production, distribution, exhibition, marketing and promotion, to professional training and supporting national film archives through the system of public subsidies. The Centre also promotes Croatian films and co-productions at all major festivals and markets. It also administers the Croatian cash rebate scheme for film and tv production, aimed at encouraging inward investment.
Croatia is a signatory to the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production, a member of Eurimages and a member of Media. Bilateral co-production agreements include Canada, France, Germany and Italy.
In January 2012, a cash rebate has been introduced for international film and tv productions shooting in the country. The incentive is a part of the four-year National Strategic Programme for the Audiovisual Industry, which was adopted by the Croatian Audiovisual Council and approved by the Croatian Ministry of Culture in October 2010.
The rebate applies to feature films, documentaries, short films, television drama and animation. Projects can derive a benefit of 20% of their qualifying expenditure. The benefit is based on the cost of a Croatian cast and crew working in Croatia, as well as goods and services purchased in Croatia. There is a cap of 20m hrk (cca €2.65m) on qualifying local expenditure per project and the minimum local spend per project is hrk 2m (cca €265,000) for feature films, hrk 300.000,00 (cca €40,000) for documentaries, hrk 500.000,00 (cca €66,000) for animation, hrk 1m (cca €133,000) for tv films, hrk 750.000,00 (cca €100,000) per episode of a tv series.
