The idea of creating a sport film festival in Croatia was born out of a desire to establish a well-executed cultural and media event celebrating sport films and showcasing athletes and the sports industry in general in a broader cultural context. The focus and highlight of the High 5 Sport Film & Media Festival will be a carefully selected international selection of sports documentaries, many of them premiering at the event.
In addition to film screenings, we envisage a complementary program of daily panel discussions and lectures, including discussions regarding the simultaneous 2016 UEFA European Championship and sport-themed art and photography exhibitions, including a retrospective of Croatian sport photography.
This concept will foster cross-promotional opportunities and create an exciting venue for socializing and media coverage. Zadar, as one of Croatia’s premier tourist destinations, is a perfect setting for this event which is planned to take place over five days in various locations in Zadar, including Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences Punta Skala, Hotel & Spa Iadera, Family Hotel Diadora, Arsenal Zadar and HNK Zadar.
