Vrboska Film Festival
at Vrboska, Island Hvar
A 4-day short fiction & animation film festival
VRBOSKA FILM FESTIVAL is a 4-day festival of Croatian and international film, taking place in August 2025.
Vrboska is a picturesque, seaside town on the island of Hvar, and we want to bring the art of cinema into this beautiful setting. Our goal is to promote exceptional emerging filmmakers, educate the local audience on film art and provide a 4-day stop motion animation workshop for children.
The festival competition program consists of short fiction and animated films. Three expert members of our jury will award the best film in each of the two categories.
Additionally, a selection of short films and one feature fiction film will be screened outside the competition.
SUBMIT YOUR SHORT FILMS UNTIL 30.04. ON FILMFREEWAY!
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
On the opening night, the main program will consist of a couple of short films in competition along with a special feature film soon to be decided.
The second night will be reserved for the short fiction and animated films in the competition and of course, the gathering with the filmmakers.
On the third and closing night, there will be an award ceremony for the best short fiction and animated film, along with screenings of several short films outside the competition.
The goal of this event is to share the beauty of the cinema with the people who love our magical Vrboska.
WORKSHOPS:
The children's animation workshop will start on the first day in the afternoon hours, at the new museum in Vrboska, and will continue for the next two days.
