The Croatian Audiovisual Centre (Hrvatski audiovizualni centar) is the government-backed strategic agency for the audiovisual sector in Croatia. It aims to stimulate a successful, vibrant audiovisual industry as well as promoting the enjoyment and understanding of audiovisual works throughout Croatia.

As a main audiovisual agency in Croatia, the HAVC feels responsible for the growth of Croatia’s audiovisual industry. Their work ranges from supporting production, distribution, exhibition, marketing and promotion, to professional training and supporting the national film archive. The Centre aims to achieve this through the system of public subsidies.

The HAVC provides public funding for Croatian feature films and documentaries, at home and abroad, in the broadest sense. The call for applications is twice a year. The HAVC website offers an overview of film festivals in Croatia, as well as recent productions.
