Mediterranean Film Festival Split 2026-2027

ongoing

The Mediterranean film festival Split established itself as one of the most active and attractive cultural events, with an exponential growth over the past five years, from its programming and activities for young audiences, a dedicated and passionate year-round traveling project and independent cinema network - Kino Mediteran to its video on demand platform KMOD. Its already established boutique distribution branch and other projects extensively contribute to shaping up and developing a strong and stable audience for independent films, echoing its impact nation-wide and even beyond its borders through the tourist season. It has been founded with the aim to contribute to the establishment and development of a decent and diverse society, enhancing its impact through the promotion of film culture and art, encouraging audiovisual creativity through the popularisation of media and new technologies, through continuous promotion of European films, that are having impact not only on the education and growth of audiences, but also opening up societies to delicate topics that are of a high importance nowadays. Understanding and underlining the need and importance of a more systematic approach to audience development, we have re-shaped our Industry programme and are kicking off with a clear goal towards mutual growth and creation, by fostering education through entertainment and cross-sectoral activities, enhancing collaboration between the Mediterranean and other European countries and cherishing its vivid cultural identities and diversities. Considering all the challenges faced over the years, and especially within the past years, we have managed to prove that growth is possible despite all odds, and that our effective crisis management and communication actions can respond effectively with certain measures to overcome threats such as have been the pandemic outbreak, lockdowns, inflations and workforce leaving the country.
