Overview

The Pula Film Festival, one of the oldest and most prestigious film festivals in Europe, wanted to expand its reach beyond the walls of the iconic Arena in Pula. With audiences increasingly expecting digital access, the festival saw the need to stream films, panels, and exclusive content online.

The challenge was not only to preserve the magic of the live event but also to make it accessible to viewers across Croatia and worldwide.

The Client’s Opportunity

The challenge

The Pula Film Festival had a strong brand, international reputation, and loyal audience. But its reach was limited to physical attendance.

There was a clear opportunity to:

  • Stream films and live events to reach audiences who cannot attend in person

  • Offer VOD access to award-winning and archival films after screenings

  • Engage younger digital audiences through modern features and personalized recommendations

By seizing this opportunity, Pula Film Festival could extend its cultural impact far beyond the city and into the digital world.
