The Network of Festivals in the Adriatic Region is a regional festival founded in 2021. Five festivals from five countries come together in this joint venture – the Sarajevo Film Festival (BiH), Auteur Film Festival (Serbia), Montenegro Film Festival (Montenegro), Ljubljana International Film Festival (Slovenia) and Zagreb Film Festival (Croatia). As part of the second edition, each of the five festivals will hold a special program, while the best films will be chosen by audiences from all five countries. By tallying audience votes, the best film will be presented with the Adriatic Audience Award, offered to the winner at the Auteur Film Festival in Belgrade.
