Social context of the origin and development of croatian film

Hrvatske društveno-politiĉke okolnosti presudno su utjecale na nastanak i razvoj hrvatskog filma koji je ovisio i o naklonosti politiĉkih figura prema toj vrsti umjetnosti s velikim propagandnim potencijalom. Svako društveno ureĊenje koje je ostavilo traga na ovim prostorima sa sobom je nosilo odreĊenu paradigmu koja je utjecala na sve segmente društva, pa tako i na film koji je reflektirao društveno stanje. Hrvatska kinematografija je mala kinematografija u kojoj se preklapaju utjecaji velikih i etabliranih malih kinematografija, ali i odreĊene tendencije europskog filmskog stila kojem ţeli pripadati. Hrvatski film stao je na noge, oporavio se, pa uz obnovu infrastrukture, osnivanje HAVC-a i popravka kino mreţe moţe oĉekivati bolje dane u kojima će se afirmirati i izvan granica svoje zemlje. Ovim radom nastoji se dobiti uvid u okolnosti koje su utjecale na nastanak i razvoj hrvatskog filma, ali i predvidjeti trendove kojima bi hrvatski film mogao krenuti. Istraţivanje je upotpunjeno polustrukturiranim intervjuom korištenim s raznim sugovornicima vezanim uz filmsku umjetnost.Croatian social-political circumstances had a crucial influence on the formation and development of Croatian film which is dependant on the favour of political figures on this kind of art with great propagandha potential.
