Zagreb Film Festival is one of the central and most visited cultural events and the largest international film festival in Croatia. It takes place during October in Zagreb and presents the audience with the best of recent independent international and domestic film production. Since its beginnings, ZFF has been focused on discovering and promoting contemporary independent film and debut works by directors from all over the world. Offering a festival and later a distribution platform for almost two decades, and showing works that often bypass the repertoires of multiplex halls, the festival played a key role in educating generations of audiences who enjoy film art.
