The programme Screenplay of a Blockbuster will be held for the third year in a row, with the aim of supporting film projects that successfully combine authorial and commercial sensibilities. This year, the programme will expand to include a workshop on screenplay development. Before the pitching, the workshop on screenplay development will take place in three modules, from early May to the start of the Festival. As in previous years, applicants will also be able to participate in a workshop to prepare for their pitch.
The programme is aimed at directors, producers, screenwriters, or other authors whose feature film projects are in the phase of development. The call is open only to Croatian majority productions of the comedy, biographical film, or children’s film genres that have not yet received approval for production funds from the Croatian Audiovisual Center or other film funds. The best project will receive a cash prize in the amount of 10.000 EUR. The call for submissions for Screenplay of a Blockbuster will be open until 10 April 2025.
