Vukovar Film Festival – capacity for economic and tourism development of the region

The goal is to explain the capacity of Vukovar Film Festival for economic and tourism development in the region, with entailed growth of cultural offer at local and national level. We witness large number of European festivals organized because of cultural, and economic reasons. The VFF, as a Danube region festival, has several distinct advantages – firstly, charisma of war tragedies allows the city to intrigue the region of the Danube countries in the way in which Sarajevo does with his festival at European and even global level. Geographically, Vukovar is located in the heart of the Danube region, and this region, despite the large number of festivals, does not have any significant Danube oriented film festival. To finance such a project the funds from Croatia are not sufficient. This paper includes comparative strengths and weaknesses of the festival and methods for placing the festival at the level it deserves. Such a project would allow branding the city in the international community and better utilization of tourism potential. By getting on the international film map, VFF could help use Eastern Croatian picturesque locations for international productions.
