Summary/Abstract: This article examines the use of film in health education of wide social segments in Croatia between the end of the First World War and 1926, the year when the film activity of the School of Public Health in Zagreb began. I discuss the early interest of the Croatian medical community in the use of film in health education, as well as the role of the newly founded social medical institutions in promotion of the film as a medium, its purchase and distribution. I review hitherto little known locally produced films that had been used in health promotion before the School of Public Health started its own production
