Artistic Council

The Artistic Council proposes the priority list of submitted projects and programs, and recommends the allocation of funds for areas that are covered by the Public call. It is comprised of Artistic Advisors who are responsible for each individual category of the Public call. Chief Executive Officer presides over the Artistic Council without voting right.

Artistic Advisors

The Artistic Advisors review and assess programs that have applied to the Public calls. They are appointed by the Croatian Audiovisual Council upon the Director’s recommendation and are chosen for eight categories that are covered by the Public call: animated, documentary, experimental, feature and short films, minority co-productions, TV works and complementary activities.

Artistic Advisors assess the projects that have applied on the basis of submitted documentation and propose programs to the Croatian Audiovisual Council recommended for co-financing. The Audiovisual Advisors write reviews in which they assess the quality of individual projects, approve and review finished audiovisual works and monitor the realization of projects that were approved for co-financing. The term of office of each Artistic Advisor lasts until the final decisions on the allocation of funds has been passed in accordance with the public call for which he or she was appointed. The same person can be appointed Artistic Adviser no more than twice in a row.
