The Department of Culture and Communication of the Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO) is organising a roundtable titled “Small Markets, Big Stories – The Film Industry in Small European Countries”, which will take place as part of the Zagreb Film Festival on 11 November 2025 at the F22 Stage of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb.
The event will bring together experts, researchers, and representatives of the audiovisual sector from Denmark and Croatia to discuss the current state, challenges, and opportunities for the development of the film industry in small European markets.
The roundtable will present the key findings of the CresCine research conducted within the framework of the Horizon Europe (2023–2026) project, with a particular focus on comparative insights from Croatia and Denmark. Researchers, policymakers, and film professionals will discuss ways to enhance the international competitiveness of the film industry in small EU countries.
The event is organised in partnership with the Zagreb Film Festival and the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, and is part of the ZFF Industry program, which serves as a platform for the education and networking of film professionals in the region.
