Daniel Rafaelić has been named Director of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre for the next four years, after a unanimous vote held at the 8th Meeting of the Board of Directors.

On Thursday, May 4th, after conducting interviews with all candidates, the 8th Meeting of the Board of Directors was held. In attendance were President Bruno Kragić with members Gabrijela Krmpotić Kos, Ivan Kujundžić, Igor Starčević and Jadranka Hrga.

The Board unanimously selected Daniel Rafaelić as the new Director of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, with a four-year mandate.

‘My programme is based on the national programme signed last week by the Minister of Culture. It ensures the continuity of Croatian cinematography, production and complementary activities, as well as the promotion of Croatian film both within the country and abroad. Emphasis is on the fight against content ‘piracy, film education, and raising awareness of the importance of Croatian film. It is vital to continue with international co-productions and incentive measures in regards to audiovisual production. The Croatian Audiovisual Centre exists and remains as a result of the social consensus that this type of institution is vital to Croatian culture. All of the great things that have been done thus far will continue to be carried out in the future,’ said Director of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, Daniel Rafaelić.
