Yesterday, at the BelDocs festival in Serbia, a panel was held in front of regional video game producers with examples of video games financed by the Creative Europe fund, and a lecture by the media desk of Slovenia and Serbia.
An interesting statistic from the panel is that in Slovenia only 1 studio received the Creative Europe fund since the funds were distributed, in Serbia only 2 studios, and here in Croatia as many as 5 different studios received funds from Creative Europe, which means that we are about 10x better in withdrawing these funds per capita.
BelDocs is a regional documentary film festival (similar to Croatian ZagrebDocs), which this year has panels, lectures, and an exhibition showcase dedicated to video games. The curator of this year’s BelDocs is local philosopher Srećko Horvat, and even two Croatian games were chosen for presentation at the showcase of video games with social themes – Daily Thread by The Wasteland and Split Decision by Quarc Games.
