These are the first grants since HAVC decided to spread applications for funds for audiovisual projects over the whole year. “Since we recently made this a permanent open call for bids, instead of once a year, we can now publish results two or more times a year. The next results will be made public in three months, before the Pula Film Festival,” said the head of HAVC Hrvoje Hribar.
