The Checkers competition has highlighted many up-and-coming Croatian filmmakers who later gained recognition both nationally and on the international festival circuit, including Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovi\u0107, Sonja Taroki\u0107, Juraj Leroti\u0107, Hana Ju\u0161i\u0107, Josip \u017duvan, and Dubravka Turi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The festival is financially supported by the City of Zagreb\u2019s Office for Culture, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, the MEDIA sub-programme of Creative Europe, Kultura Nova Foundation\u00a0 and the Zagreb Tourist Board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
