Film was a Croatian rock group founded in 1978 in Zagreb. Film was one of the most popular rock groups of the former Yugoslav New Wave in the late 1970s to early 1980s.

The first line-up included Jura Stublić (Singer, songwriter and leader of the group), Mladen Jurčić 'Max' (Lead guitar) Marino Pelaić 'Baracuda' (Bass guitar) and van Stančić 'Piko' (Drums).

In 1981 the group became very popular. Its first big hit was the song "Neprilagođen" ("Maladjusted"). In that time Jura Stublić wrote hits like "Zamisli život u ritmu muzike za ples" ("Imagine life in the rhythm of music for dancing"), "Radio ljubav" ("Radio love"), "Zajedno" ("Together"), "Kad si mlad" ("When you are young"), "Odvedi me iz ovog grada" ("Get me out of this town"), "Zona sumraka" ("Twilight zone"), etc. The concert generally accepted as the greatest occoured in the Zagreb-located club Kulušić on February 11, 1981 when they recorded a live album. In 1986, the first line-up of the group collapsed. There were also attempts to sell their albums in France, with the name changed to "Le cinema". They had less than 1000 albums sold in France.

Jura Stublić with the new group Film

Not long after the disbandment of the original line-up Jura Stublić started a solo career, forming a new mainstream pop-rock band under the moniker of "Jura Stublić & Film". In that time they had some successful songs like "Sjećam se prvog poljupca" (I remember my first kiss), "Glas srca" (Voice of heart), "Dobre vibracije" (Good vibrations) which is not remake of Beach Boys, "Ljubav je zakon" (Love rules), etc. They became a popular act of the former SFR Yugoslav Pop Rock scene though still not managing to surpass the critical and public acclaim of the original line-up. In 1992 he made his last album, when the war in Croatia began, "Hrana za golubove". On that album there were two war-related songs, "E, moj druže beogradski" ("Oh, my comrade from Belgrade"), and "Bili cvitak" ("White flower").
