STORY ABOUT DART

First ten years

Dart film was founded in 2005 by Vladimir Vidic and Natasa Damnjanovic as a post-production studio. In the first ten years, our focus was to provide professional individual and team management services in film, video and television editing and post-production. We were a part of one of the most significant TV projects working in drama and non-drama content for television and video. Dart was responsible for leading a team of editors and other post-production professionals in international drama projects for Croatian AVA production group and licensed TV show formats like famous British "Got Talent" and "X factor" franchises for more than eight years working on every season broadcasted on RTS (Radio-television of Serbia) and RTV Pink. We also made more than ten short films and a vast number of documentary and video formats for corporate and government clients during this period.

FILM PRODUCTION

Dart produced its first feature film in 2016, transforming the studio into a production house for independent art films. The company’s focus is on working with emerging talented filmmakers of the younger generation in the hope of forming a new creative wave in the regional film industry. We are focusing on European and international film co-production as a part of a broader approach to film production. The idea is to try and bridge the somewhat artificial gap formed between the so-called "art house" and "mainstream" films, bringing the two categories closer together. Dart film has produced and co-produced several features films, short films, and documentaries screened at various domestic and international festivals like Berlinale, Cannes, Rotterdam FF, Locarno FF, New York Film Festival, Mar del Plata, Sarajevo FF, Cottbus, FEST etc. One of the short films was nominated for the European Film Awards in 2015. Most notably, feature films "Vlaznost" (Humidity, by Nikola Ljuca) was an international co-production premiered at Berlinale and supported by Eurimages and "Svi severni gradovi" (All the Cities of the North, by Dane Komljen) was screened on more than 50 festivals worldwide during 2016 and 2017. A co-production film, "I Was at Home, But" by German director Angela Schanelec, won Silver Bear for Best Director at Berlinale 2019.
