Overview

The second edition of the Adriatic Film and TV Awards (AFA 2026) has concluded in Tivat, Montenegro. Held on October 23–24 at Porto Montenegro, the event featured five days of regional film screenings at the Tivat Culture Center to recognize outstanding cinematic and television achievements across the Adriatic region.

Directed by Stefan Đorđević, ‘Vjetre, pričaj sa mnom’ (Wind, Talk to Me)—a co-production of Serbia, Slovenia, and Croatia produced by Dragana Jovović—emerged as the major winner, securing awards for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Debut Film.

In acting categories, Noomi Rapace won Best Actress for ‘Majka’ (Mother), while Andrija Kuzmanović received Best Actor for ‘Yugo Florida’. Arif Jakup was named Rising Star for ‘DJ Ahmet’, and Hana Jušić won Best Screenplay for ‘Bog neće pomoći’ (God Won’t Help).

In the television categories, the series ‘Kotlina’ from Bosnia and Herzegovina, created by Amra Bakšić Čamo and Danis Tanović, won Best TV Series. Snežana Vidović and Feđa Štukan received awards for Best Actress and Best Actor in a TV series, respectively. Additionally, the newly introduced AFA Award for Exceptional Success in Cinema Distribution was awarded to the film ‘Svadba’ by Igor Šeregi for its high box office revenue.

The winners were determined by electronic voting from over 800 members of the Adriatic Region Film and TV Academy, an organization founded by members of the Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Zagreb film festivals.
