He won numerous awards for his scripts, including UNESCO Award, FIPRESCI Award at Cannes Film Festival and Peter Kastner Award. He had an intensive scriptwriting cooperation with Serbian filmmaker Srđan Karanović, also a member of the so-called Prague Film School (they co-wrote two Grlić’s films and three Karanović’s films, as well as Karanović’s iconic TV series Reckless Years). He also directed three documentary TV series and a dozen short feature films. He wrote, directed and produced the CD ROM How to Make Your Movie: An Interactive Film School. The CD ROM won him eight international film awards, including Grand Award for Best Multimedia Project at New York Film Festival 1998. He launched Motovun Film Festival and Grožnjan Imaginary Academy and was also their Artistic Director. In 2001, together with Igor Mirković, he directed Croatia 2000: Who Wants to Be a President, a documentary film on the democratic changes that had taken place in Croatia after President Franjo Tuđman’s death. Grlić is currently Ohio Eminent Scholar in Film at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
