Prognostic model Animated Film Festival – VAFI

Purpose: The International Animated Film Festival - VAFI was the hallmark event of the Croatian city Varazdin. The Creative Film Studio VANIMA Association since 2010 organizes VAFI - an international animated film festival for children and youth. The festival has an emphasis on the filmmaking of children and young people with the aim of encouraging media literacy. Throughout these ten years, VANIMA often has problems with financial resources for organizing the festival. The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the factors, with the emphasis on the funding needed for the festival's growth. Design/methodology/approach: The case of the VAFI festival is analysed using VANIMA's data sources on: festival duration, the number of submitted films, the number of selected films, number of official projections, the number of other programs, number of participants and budget for 10 years. Using descriptive statistics, parameters were determined, while correlation between parameters was determined using Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficient. The cause-effect diagram (Ishikawa diagram) was produced, with the result (effect) of a "successful festival". Based on it, a mathematical and computer model was developed, evaluated by statistical nonparametric tests. Findings: The VAFI festival is complex system according to system theory. The results of the study reveal that the festival depends upon a combination of three components, these are: number selected films, number of official projections and the number of other programs. Every of the three components are depending on budget. Originality/value: Very few studies have researched event using modelling as a research method, although the modelling is a recommended priority within the field of festival studies. This study presents a developing predictive model which is adaptive according event and contributes to this area of knowledge and provides relevant information for organizations and host cities.
