Balkans Beyond Borders
A network connecting young filmmakers, festivals and institutions from the Balkans and Southern Europe through workshops, exchanges and co-productions.
International
European Projects
The Adriatic Film Festival has a strong European vocation: it works with networks, festivals and institutions across the continent to build bridges between cultures, professionals and audiences through independent cinema.
ERASMUS +
A bridge between the Adriatic and Europe
We believe independent cinema is a universal language able to cross borders and generate authentic connections. That is why we actively take part in European projects, collaborate with international festivals and host professionals from all over the continent.
From the Mediterranean to the Balkans, from Western Europe to the Adriatic area: the festival is a hub of cultural exchange, training and co-production development.
