JADRAN FILM REOPENS ITS DOORS

RESTART 2026!

Dear Partners,

it is with great pleasure that we announce that JADRAN FILM, following the Cannes Film Festival, will once again open its doors on 25 May 2026 to both new and longstanding partners — emerging from substantial investment and a multi-year renovation program, in the very year we mark the 80th anniversary of our founding.

Jadran film has co-produced and serviced over 300 international film and television programs with major studios, independent producers, and television networks from the Us and Europe.

Throughout its decades-long history, Jadran Film has been associated with numerous productions recognized at the world's most prestigious film festivals. In the Oscar category for Best Foreign Language Film, three Jadran Film productions received nominations: The Year Long Road (Cesta duga godinu dana, 1958) by Giuseppe De Santis, The Ninth Circle (Deveti krug, 1960) by France Štiglic, and The Battle of Neretva (Bitka na Neretvi, 1969) by Veljko Bulajić. Additionally, two Oscar-winning films were produced in part at Jadran Film's facilities as international co-productions and service projects — Volker Schlöndorff's The Tin Drum (1979), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Alan J. Pakula's Sophie's Choice (1982), which brought Meryl Streep the Oscar for Best Actress.

At the Venice Film Festival, Jadran Film productions earned recognition primarily in short, documentary, and children's film categories, including Between Two Roll-Calls (1959), Piko (1959), The Lost Pencil (1960), He (1961), Skopje '63 (1964), and Hockey (1966). At the Cannes Film Festival, several Jadran Film titles competed for the Palme d'Or — Train Without a Timetable (1959), The Ninth Circle (1960), and Occupation in 26 Pictures (1978) — while the co-produced The Tin Drum (1979) took the festival's top honor, winning the Palme d'Or. The Berlin International Film Festival brought one of the studio's most significant modern accolades: Grbavica won the Golden Bear in 2006, a recognition achieved during the current mandate of Chairman Vinko Grubišić and a testament to Jadran Film's continued relevance on the international stage well into the 21st century.

In its golden age, Jadran Film operated at most three studios.

Today, after investment And many years of extensive construction and restoration work.

In addition to our nine operational studios, we have renovated and specifically adapted more than 5,000 m² of additional space for film production and the creative industries — providing production, logistical, and administrative support, as well as base-camp infrastructure.

Production Hub

During the Cannes Film Festival, together with our partners, we will evaluate the construction of Jadran Film’s new flagship — Studio 10 — for which we are considering two configurations:

— Studio 10 A — 2,500 m²

— Studio 10 B — 3,200 m²

This announcement is addressed to our partners around the world who have produced — with us and within Jadran Film — hundreds of films and major television series, and to every production company and streaming service that has already brought projects to our region or intends to do so. We wish to convey, urbi et orbi, that Croatia and our part of the world now possess a studio complex equipped to meet even the most demanding productions. Together with our partners and investors, we present the national and global studio Jadran Film at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

In its most glamorous years, Jadran Film was known as “Little Hollywood”. Today, in a stable Republic of Croatia, Situated in Zagreb — the capital, midway between Venice and Vienna — with its preserved natural and cultural heritage, its reliable and highly professional film workforce, and modern equipment and technology, Jadran Film is once again on the path of prosperity — entering its ninth decade after serious series of investments and renovations, as a powerful film company and a true partner to producers worldwide.

Together with our partners, we are reviving Jadran Film as a full-service production destination. We remain open to mutually agreed advances, new strategies, investments, and partnerships in this direction.

Over the past few years, JADRAN FILM has invested in and prepared several of its own projects.

We invite you to visit us and to explore the new opportunities and partnerships we are offering following this reopening — the possibility for Jadran Film to become, in every sense, the home of new collaborations and your future projects.
