On February 1, 2026, Anno Domini once again appeared on Californian cinema screens, this time at the 9th Yountville International Short Film Festival in Napa Valley, USA.
Following its world premiere at the San Jose International Short Film Festival, Anno Domini was shown in the World Cinema category of the Yountville festival. Held from January 29 to February 1, 2026, this year’s festival featured over 100 international short film titles.
Anno Domini is a social satire that, through a unique lens of the peak tourist season, explores the layered phenomenon of mass tourism and the experience of locals becoming strangers in their own city – offering a broader commentary on the societal impact of tourism.
The lead roles are played by Stojan Matavulj and Virginia Ruspini, with supporting performances by Paško Vukasović, Marin Klišmanić, Filip Radoš, Stipe Radoja, Mia Bujan, Denis Tomić, Petar Čakić, and Leon Macanović.
Alongside director and screenwriter Filip Antonio Lizatović, the film was created by producers Maja Gros and Žana Jukić, director of photography Antonio Pozojević, editor and sound designer Igor Dropuljić, production designer Antonia Jurina, costume designer Mirela Mitak, and makeup artist Karla Lazić.
The film features authentic archival footage provided by the residents of Split’s old town district (“Get”), and original music by Goran Bregović, Josip Pastuović, and Fabijan Jakopec.
The film was produced by Blank and co-produced by Kino Klub Split, with the support of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (HAVC), the City of Split, and Lovrinac Ltd.
