Independent Festival of Creative Communication (IFCC) is a festival with the primary goal to promote authorship and creativity through education and rewarding, especially in the field of art and design within the entertainment industry, publishing and advertising.
IFCC arose from the perceived need to expand and increase educational content involved with the Judgment Day Awards (2010), the aim of which was awarding talented individuals within Croatian advertising industry, not the agencies they work at. Judgement Day is still an important part of the festival – it will conclude the festival on June 3.
Festival guests are usually made of these three groups – speakers, recruiters and attendees.
Lectures, demos, parties, workshops, recruiting sessions and exhibitions are standard ingredients of IFCC program. The best part, though, is the personal approach – speakers, recruiters and attendees hang out together through all the days and nights of the festival.
IFCC Show-Off is maybe the most important part of the program because attendees get the chance to have their portfolio reviewed by industry’s top professionals. They are also allowed to present their work to recruiters on IFCC’s big stage. During IFCC 2016 Show-Off program more than 50 artists presented their portfolios on a big stage.
Artists will have a chance to get their works reviewed by representatives from companies like Riot Games, Blizzard, CD Project Red, MadHead Games, MPC, Guerilla Games, Nordeus and many others. Even though not everyone will have a chance to present their work on the big stage, you can apply for the show-off here.
As a means of broadening the scope of the Festival, IFCC Academy will allow you to attend Advanced Sculpting with Aris Kolokontes or Nextgen Concept Art with Jama Jurabaev online. Find out more here.
More than 60 top professional speakers who will participate in the event include Zeen Chin, Renaud Forestie, Dan Luvisi, Mike Azevedo, Marco Nelor and Soren Zaragoza. See the full list here.
The six-day event (May 29 – June 3) will take place at Kino Europa and the price is €420. If you’re interested in the show-off event only, you can buy a two-day ticket for €140. See all ticket options here.
