Second Edition of Slano Film Days – June 17 – June 21 2025
The author of the concept and director of Slano Film Days, Miro Purivatra, and his associates managed to establish Slano as a new meeting center for filmmakers and film lovers.
The second edition of the event, which connects emerging filmmakers and eminent world names from the world of film and the film industry, will be held in Slano and the Elaphiti Islands from June 17 to June 21 2025.
Slano Film Days focuses on the creative process, film as an art form, leaving aside its commodity value. Filmmakers of global reputation have the opportunity to share their experience, but also to be inspired by young talents who, in turn, have the opportunity to meet directly with some of the most important names from the world of the film industry, in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Lectures, workshops, film screenings, talks and numerous informal gatherings, as well as the exchange of experiences and ideas, enable young but already established directors, actors and cinematographers to openly discuss the creative process of filmmaking, their ideas and new projects, free from competitive pressure.

"Slano Film Days is a unique experience," said last year's guest of Slano Film Days and five-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón. “This is a community of filmmakers and actors of different cultural backgrounds and generations who have come together to share different approaches in their creative impulses. All differences are erased in the common goal of acquiring knowledge and creating films."
The satisfaction of festival guests and participants, as well as residents and visitors of Slano after the first edition of Slano Film Days is the best indicator that Slano has already been established as a new meeting center for filmmakers and film lovers.
A total of 13 film artists have received an invitation from the organizers to participate in the second edition of Slano Film Days, who will attend workshops in the field of acting, directing or camera and thus contribute to their professional and personal development.
