Boris Poljak and Damir Cucic won a prize for their film ‘Sky Spirits’, made in ‘Croatian Film Clubs Association’ production, at the Alternative Film & Video festival in Belgrade (Serbia). The awarded authors got a special bonus – the possibility of producing next film or video work at Academic Film Centre (AFC) in Belgrade.
The experimental film ‘Sky Spirits’ used the documentary recordings of fireworks as a bases, that have been collected during 2001-2008. They didn’t use computer programmes, but has been created just by video processing.

Founded in 1963 as the Croatian Cinema Association (and the Centre for Croatian amateur cinema before that), the Association works today as part of the Croatian Technical Culture Union.
Croatian Film Clubs’ Association assembles cinema and video clubs, film groups and individuals from primary school to adult members, encourages their work (providing financing, managing and expert help), contributes to education of mentors and members of film groups, organizes presentations and evaluation of film and video works by children and adult authors, at home and abroad, and works on preservation of best film and video works of non-professional cinema. Since 1992, the Association has been a member of the international organization of non-professional cinema (UNICA).
