The Croatian Audiovisual Centre is the government-backed strategic agency for the audiovisual sector in Croatia. It aims to stimulate a successful, vibrant audiovisual industry as well as to promote the widest possible enjoyment and understanding of audiovisual works throughout Croatia.

It was founded in 2008 as a result of the new Law on Audiovisual Activities unanimously passed by the Croatian Parliament in July 2007. It is funded by the grant-in-aid from the government and through contributions of all those outlets exploiting audiovisual works such as broadcasters, digital, cable and satellite operators, internet providers, telecoms, etc..

As a main audiovisual agency in Croatia, the newly founded Centre has assumed overall responsibility for the growth of Croatia’s audiovisual industry. Its remit ranges from supporting production, distribution, exhibition, marketing and promotion, to professional training and supporting national film archives through the system of public subsidies.

The Croatian Audiovisual Centre has been an EFP member since 2009.
