The Vladimir Film Festival is a fascinating event. In a time of social media they managed to build a film festival that attracts people from all around the globe to a small village in Croatia without a lot of advertising. The celebration of their 15th anniversary this year shows how well the skate community is connected and how far a positive DIY mentality can get you. The program was packed with over 30 movies and many side activities. 

This year we did a one week trip to Fazana to enjoy the seaside combined with some skateboarding and holiday feelings. We went there with no expectations but were only surprised in positive ways. It’s the perfect destination for a late summer vacation and everyone there was in good spirits. I did not plan to shoot many skate photos so I just brought a super small and simple camera setup to capture the vibe but in the end I could not resist to capture some tricks at the DIY. 

Big thanks to all the organizers and visitors that make this event so amazing. – Lukas Zeh
