Post-production activities have intensified after successfully completing filming for 260 DAYS and the team’s return from summer holidays. Editing is currently wrapping up in Hollywood, with completion expected in early September.

In addition, we have secured the expertise of key post-production specialists, including three Oscar winners, strengthening our team. Post-production is set to conclude in early February, after which the film will move into promotion and distribution.

Our thanks go out to all participants who have brought this true story to life on screen.

The final week of filming was marked by the arrival of Hollywood star Tim Roth. The legendary British actor, known for iconic roles in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and the series Lie to Me, has joined the set of 260 DAYS. With over three decades of experience, including collaborations with Quentin Tarantino and an Oscar nomination, Roth brings depth and emotion to the role of adult Marijan.

His arrival in Slavonia was met with excitement, as the cast and crew praised his professionalism. Below are images from this memorable last week on set.

Following the final press conference at the stunning Hotel Materra in Čepin, the official video has now been released. Take a look at the conference proceedings and enjoy highlights from the gala evening held for our esteemed guests and media representatives.

On Wednesday, June 26, the press conference marking the completion of filming for 260 DAYS was held in the beautiful setting of Hotel Materra’s conference hall in Čepin. In attendance were cast members Will Godber (as young Marijan), Tom Forbes (Miloš), Ivana Skelin (a nurse), and the film’s key production team—director Jakov Sedlar; Marijan Gubina, author of the autobiographical novel; and producer Dražen Majstrović.

With gratitude, the team announced the end of the initial production phase, largely enabled by VROS Holding’s support. Fundraising continues for post-production, with a Crowdfunding campaign set for additional resources. Editing and post-production are slated for September, with hopes of completing the film by year’s end and premiering in early 2025, aiming for global distribution across a hundred countries.

The 260 DAYS Team

The film crew of 260 DAYS continues its work into the fourth week, with scenes shot in Gorjani, Đakovo, Punitovci, and recently, Osijek. A highlight was when Hollywood legend Armand Assante, playing a JNA officer, rejoined the team. Filming took place in the courtyard of the historic Osijek Citadel, where Assante performed a pivotal scene. The atmosphere, filled with anticipation, was further energized by the presence of business partners, media representatives, and invited guests.

Assante’s charisma and masterful performance captivated all attendees, earning him a round of applause from the crew, a testament to his exceptional contribution to the film. Director Jakov Sedlar expressed pride in working with such a distinguished artist, emphasizing Assante’s impact on the film’s authenticity. Despite demanding conditions, the cast and crew dedicated themselves fully, ensuring each scene’s quality.

Next week, Tim Roth is set to join the production, and until then, the gallery below offers a glimpse into the intense scenes filmed at the Citadel.
