Our Mission

Ponta Lopud is a haven for creativity, culture and meaningful connections. We bring together emerging talents and world-renowned Masters in cinema, jazz, and literature in an intimate island setting. The curated schedule encourages collaboration, reflection, and inspiration, all set against the beauty of Lopud Island. We believe the exchange of ideas and connections cultivates lasting creative partnerships, and shapes our legacy; where Fellows return as future Masters; all while preserving the island’s authentic character and maintaining the deep connection to the local community.
