A fairytale advent in the town of Rab

Sanjin Badurina, 2025.

Categories: Documentary, Short film

"A Fairytale Advent in the Town of Rab," created by the well-known and multi-award-winning filmmaker, producer, and photographer from Rab, Sanjin Badurina, uses dynamic and visually stunning footage to document the transformation of the ancient, stone town of Rab into a magical winter destination. The film focuses on the contrast between historic medieval architecture and the festive holiday atmosphere, showcasing an ice-skating rink right by the sea, lavishly lit town streets, local culinary offerings, and the shared emotions and sense of community among visitors during the "Most Beautiful Island Advent" event. This promotional film was produced by the Rab Tourist Board.
