Lopud Foundation Artist Retreat
The Slano Film Days in collaboration with the Lopud Foundation Artist Retreat aims to support all festival participants in their further professional growth.
As part of the Lopud Foundation Artist Retreat, the selected participants of the Slano Film Days have a unique opportunity to fully focus on the development of their new film projects during a four-week stay on the island of Lopud.
“The Lopud Artist Retreat is for creative people to focus on their work in the quietness and beauty of this inspiring island while being housed in a collection of carefully restored 15th and 16th-century buildings. The invited guests range from writers, directors, producers, musicians, composers, painters, sculptors and artists in the visual arts.
There are two retreats each year. One in the spring and one in the autumn, for four weeks each. Currently, four artists will be invited to each retreat. Each retreat will have either a Croatian or someone from the region as guests.”
Lucien Rees Roberts, Founder of the Lopud Foundation Artist Retreat
Who can apply?
Eligible applicants for the Lopud Artist Retreat, in cooperation with the Slano Film Days, are directors from Croatia and the region who are currently working on their new feature film screenplay.
How to apply?
The Lopud Artist Retreat is open to participants through an open call for submissions, which is announced twice a year - in the spring and in the autumn.
Applications should be sent by email to info@slanofilmdays.hr.
The final selection of one director per open call for the Lopud Artist Retreat is made based on the assessment of the quality of the project (a feature film screenplay) and the applicant’s motivation.
Program Format
The Lopud Foundation Artist Retreat covers all travel, food and accommodation costs.
Accommodation is in a comfortable villa on the hill above the Lopud port, and it provides a unique opportunity for working daily in a serene and inspiring environment of the island of Lopud.
The objective of the Lopud Artist Retreat is that the selected artists stay fully focused on their work and therefore private visits are not permitted.
