Digital Cinema Package (DCP)

Here is how this works in practice. We deliver Digital Cinema Package creation for shoots finishing in Croatia, producing DCI-compliant packages that play flawlessly on pro cinema projection systems worldwide. Our team manages the full tech chain — resolution, frame rate, colour space, JPEG2000 encoding, and audio channel setup. And checks playback on cinema servers before release. We produce both encrypted DCPs, with KDM key running for each specific projector and time window for commercial runs, and unencrypted DCPs for festival submission where simplicity matters.

Here is the short of it. The pipeline handles 2K and 4K masters, many audio configurations including 5.1, 7.1, and Atmos, and many versions covering subtitle options, language tracks, and aspect ratios. Croatian and English subtitle versions are standard for the local market. Standard DCP creation runs one to three business days based on length and tangle, with rush turnaround ready for urgent festival or release deadlines, and each package is QC-checked so it screens correctly first time.

Here is the breakdown. DCP work in Croatia connects directly to an active festival and exhibition culture. The Pula Film Festival, the national festival held in a Roman amphitheatre since 1954 and awarding the Golden Arena, is a key theatrical showcase, alongside the Motovun Film Festival. ZagrebDox, and Animafest Zagreb, one of the oldest animation festivals in the world. Croatia's strong global service-production reputation, built through projects such as 'Game of Thrones' in Dubrovnik and Split and 'Mamma Mia!

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Here We Go Again' on Vis, has grown the country's finishing and delivery capacity. As an EBU member with a DCI-compliant cinema sector, Croatia produces packages that meet both European and global theatrical standards. We advise on the 25 percent 'Filming in Croatia' rebates administered by HAVC. This can apply to qualifying post-prod spend. Make sure each DCP meets the delivery standards needed by distributors and festival programmers.
