Development of film industry is directly linked to the tradition of film art in Rijeka but it largely depends on the interest of production companies interested in shooting in the region. In that way, young professionals and young people, who maybe see their future in the audiovisual industry, have the opportunity to gain necessary experience on film sets. The Kvarner Film Commission promotes locations with shooting potential with an intention to make the process easier for all interested filmmakers at the same time promoting the work of domestic professionals on sets and opening space for young people to learn and work.

We have to highlight that the city of Rijeka currently has a remarkable film production and art scene. Since the foundation of a public institution Art-kino the development of film industry has become very visible over the past decade. In that context, the establishment of the Kvarner Film Commission stands as a logical continuation of all efforts done so far. To illustrate, the Agreement on support of the local film production was signed by the City of Rijeka and the Croatian Audiovisual Centre to co-fund more than 20 films. All those steps are an incentive for the further development of film industry.
