The cinema of Croatia has a somewhat shorter tradition than what is common for other Central European countries: the serious beginning of Croatian cinema starts with the rise of the Yugoslavian film industry in the 1940s. Three Croatian feature films were nominated for the Foreign Language Film Academy Award, several of them gained awards at major festivals, and the Croatian contribution in the field of animation is particularly important.
