Vrsi and Zadar on Film
Staying in Vrsi became the starting point for a wider film diary of northern Dalmatia: quiet coves and village streets, Zadar's stone waterfront, mountain weather, waterfalls and the rougher edges found beyond the coast.
Vrsi set the pace for the trip. Mornings began beside still water, small boats and pale stone, with the village and mountains always visible across the bay. The slower rhythm made it easy to notice how quickly the Adriatic light changed from soft blue to hard midday colour.
From there, each day opened onto a different landscape. Zadar brought Roman stone, church towers and a broad waterfront, while the paths around Krka shifted the palette toward deep green woodland and white water. Higher in the mountains, cloud and shadow reduced everything to rock, distance and a single figure on the trail.
The final photographs follow the less polished side of the journey: quad tracks above the coast, an abandoned aircraft and bunker, and the huge interior of a disused factory. Together those places made the trip feel more complete than a postcard view—calm and bright in one frame, weathered and uncertain in the next.
