All the movie posters were presented during the FMFS at the Summer Cinema Bačvice from June 13th to 22nd. We enjoyed our chill-out zone, where, with a glass of wine and popcorn, we had pleasant conversations with authors, hosts, and festival guests. We also spent time with the youngest ones at MEDITERAONICA – movie posters through children’s eyes, and for professionals, this year the design studio Šesnić & Turković from Zagreb talked about the process of creating movie poster designs.
After FMFS, this year we opened an exhibition in collaboration with HUiU in their gallery as part of the 71st Pula Film Festival. The exhibition was open to all interested parties from July 10th to July 31st. We also expanded our collaborations beyond the borders of Croatia and presented all 42 interpretations and 35 authors of NoMAD MOVIE ART in Sarajevo, at Buybook bookstore and the Boris Smoje Gallery. The exhibition was open from August 16th to August 23rd as part of the 4th Festival in the Center, during the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival.

Exhibition premiere @ Open Air Cinema Bačvice – as part of FMFS
With the third NoMAD MOVIE ART, we opened the summer season at FMFS, again in the fairytale ambience of the Bačvice open-air cinema. From June 13th to 22nd, it was our base for inspiring meetings and pleasant conversations with authors, hosts and festival guests.
It was a fantastic introduction to an exciting summer – guest appearances at film festivals in Pula and Sarajevo followed, and we captured it all on camera and stored it in our hearts!
Exhibition during Pula Film Festival
In collaboration with the The Croatian Association of Interdisciplinary Artists (HUIU) we presented the 3rd edition of NoMAD MOVIE ART 2024 exhibition to the Pula and festival audiences. The exhibition opening took place in a warm and welcoming atmosphere and all the works could be viewed during the Pula Film Festival, from 10th to 31st July 2024 at the HUiU Gallery.
Thank you to the hosts for their great hospitality and – see you again!
Exhibition during Sarajevo Film Festival
In 2024, for the first time in Sarajevo, Split Nomad Gallery presented all three years of the NoMAD MOVIE ART – Film classics through the eyes of Croatian authors.
The Sarajevo and festival audience was be able to see 42 interpretations of film classics as movie posters. With complete creative freedom and a unique perspective, the authors interpreted film classics through their media – photography, illustration, graphic design, and typography, delighting audiences of all generations.
During the 4th Festival in the Center, 16 – 23 August 2024, all artworks were exhibited in two locations – in the courtyard of the legendary bookstore Buybook, where the grand opening was held, and then we moved across the street to the Boris Smoje gallery. At the same location, on October 30th, the closing ceremony of our exhibition took place, this time accompanied with a casual meet-and-greet with the artists.
After a pleasant evening at Buybook, the next morning we spent some quality time with the students of the Graphic Design Department at the Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo. In a relaxed atmosphere, our authors Goran Radošević and Ivan Milas demystified their creative processes to the students and professors, and shared the stories behind the posters for Zorba The Greek, The Godfather, La Dolce Vita, and Predator.
Thank you Bojan Hadžihalilović for organising the lecture and supporting the new collaborations we plan with the Academy’s students for the next edition of NMA.
Thank you Ivan and Goran for not only presenting your works and the creative processes behind them but also taking the time to truly experience Sarajevo.
With this, we’ve concluded the first chapter and initiated concrete discussions about further collaborations.
And – the best for last. Since we’re at one of the biggest film festivals in Europe, we took some time to check out other locations. We dropped by Mr. Turturro’s masterclass and presented him with Piro’s (Vjeran Juhas Piro) interpretation of cult classic The Big Lebowski. Turns out Mr. Turturro is a big fan of movie posters, so we hung out with him a little more and took him through the entire NoMAD MOVIE ART exhibit. The delight was mutual!
A big thank you to all of our hosts and to all the individuals who contributed to the Sarajevo edition of NoMAD MOVIE ART in their own way, and helped us create such a memorable experience. How exciting those days were for us – let the photos do the talking!
