Participants and guests described their experience at Slano Film Days 2025 as valuable, inspiring, and fueling, confirming that such an event is truly needed on today’s film scene.They left Slano enriched and inspired, ready for new projects and future collaborations.
“It’s not just about the art, but also the community around it, and that’s what makes Slano Film Days such a valuable and rare opportunity.”
“Enjoying cinema with cinephiles in a mesmerizing looking cinematic setting makes Slano Film Days one of the most wonderful festivals in the world. Hvala Miro and everyone working for Slano Film Days for the unforgettable experience!”
“So well organized, so relaxed, so inspiring! The Slano Film Days have been the possibility to reflect about cinema through different, sometimes opposite, points of view, and this generates a beautiful exchange. Directors, actors and producers spend so much time questioning their creative process alone, that an encounter like the Slano Film Days is a gift giving fuel.”
“This is the best festival in the world! It’s not about big stars, but people who love film. I love it, I love it, I love it. It’s the second time I’ve been here, and I hope I come the next 25 times.”
“The encounters, conversations, and exchanges in Slano happen on the deepest human level, building new friendships and a generous community that empowers, inspires, and gives meaning to all of us, gathering strength for our next projects. Therefore, it is a platform of a unique kind, avant-garde, intimate, and liberating, the one we had to experience in order to realize just how much we needed it.”
“After Slano Film Days, I’m returning home full of inspiration and a renewed love for film and acting.”
“It truly is a big deal that we can gain direct insight into the creative processes of world-renowned filmmakers from the filmmakers themselves. Still, the greatest joy comes from the fact that a community is forming here, one made up of a handful of regional filmmakers from the same generation, and I can’t wait to meet them again somewhere.”
“We have created a concept that all participants describe as the most useful and most pleasant film event they have ever attended. The five-day stay in Slano offered numerous lectures, constructive and open conversations, and informal gatherings that allowed them to leave inspired for their upcoming projects and future collaborations.”
