In September 2023, the Zagreb Film Office invited LMGI President John Rakich (Toronto), members Benjamin Hendriks (Netherlands) and Emma Jane \u201cEJ\u201d Richards (United Kingdom) to participate in a seven-day nationwide tour of Croatia\u2019s most film-friendly locations, followed by a panel discussion at the fifth PROFilm Days Symposium in Croatia\u2019s capital city, Zagreb.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe experiencing Zagreb and Croatia in person is so much more impactful than just hearing about how great it is to film here,\u201d says Mia Pecina Dra\u0161kovic, Head of the Zagreb Film Office. \u201cThis is why we started PROFilm Days\u00a0 <\/span>Symposium six years ago and each year, we are more successful in attracting new projects to Zagreb.<\/p>\n

\u201cZagreb is an amazing small city for big projects\u2014it is in the centre of Europe, a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe. The architecture is a mix of both as well, which is the biggest draw for all productions, on top of very professional film crews. And Croatia has been a part of the European union for over 10 years now, making it very easy to travel to neighbouring countries without border restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jakov Kapetanovic, from the Zagreb Film Office, led the pre-symposium tour on behalf of the Croatian Tourism Board and the various regional film offices that generously showcased the country\u2019s diverse locations and creative opportunities for filmmakers.<\/p>\n

Landscapes range from dense rainforests, Pannonian plains, mountain ranges, rolling hills and some of the world\u2019s most stunning Adriatic coastline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were so many beautiful\u2014and filmable\u2014places that we were shown,\u201d said LM Benjamin Hendriks. \u201cI must have taken a record number of photos. We often asked to stop the car alongside the road just to snap a few shots before hopping back in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat surprised me is the vast difference in scenery between places, even though they are not that far apart. You can easily sell multiple countries within one. The nature and the architecture can differ a lot, which makes it very usable, depending on what you are looking for. Newly built buildings are in great contrast with many abandoned and neglected buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that, we visited places we simply had not seen before, like \u017deljava, where we\u2019ve visited an underground air base situated deep in a mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added UK\u2019s Richards, \u201cEverywhere we turned, we were wide-eyed and amazed by all the beautiful vistas, architecture and landscapes, all bathed in gorgeous Croatian light. Not to mention how cementing it is to be immersed in the culture and spend time with our connections in each of the regions. We felt everywhere we went, there was such pride in the people and places\u2014and a willingness to open doors and make it work\u2014always a big factor when you\u2019re trying to achieve the impossible\u2014which is a big part of the Location Department day job!\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Zagreb and Croatia have hosted many international projects, such as The Witcher, The Hitman\u2019s Wife\u2019s Bodyguard, The Ipcress Files, Jack Ryan, Hotel Portofino, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Three Heists and a Hamster, The Witness and Game of Thrones. In the upcoming political thriller, Canary Black, Zagreb finally gets to play Zagreb throughout the story rather than doubling for other cities. The Zagreb Film Office is expecting a new level of interest in filming in this amazing capital city upon the film\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Croatia offers a 25% cash rebate and an additional 5% for productions filming in regions with below-average development (Croatian Film Commission).<\/p>\n
