European citizens share common values and, as of tonight, the audience in Novi Sad will have a chance to watch films that symbolise European unity in diversity, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Oskar Benedikt said last night as he opened the European Film Festival in Novi Sad.
The audience, which filled the cinema hall, was also greeted by the editor of Novi Sad Cultural Centre film programme, Djordje Kacanski.
The Festival, organised by the EU Delegation to Serbia, kicked off at cinema hall of Novi Sad Cultural Centre with the projection of “A Stinking Fairytale” by Miroslav Momcilovic.
Over the next eight days, the audience will have a chance to watch 19 films hailing from 18 European countries. In one way or the other, each of the films represents the country of its origin: Serbia, Croatia, Denmark, Portugal, Cyprus, Austria, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, Belgium, Greece, France, Estonia, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Bulgaria and Germany.
The Festival runs through 20 May and then moves to seven other cities throughout Serbia: Nis, Sabac, Valjevo, Prijepolje, Negotin, Prokuplje and Uzice.
Entrance to all film projections is free. Tickets can be picked up at EU Info Point Novi Sad (17 Mihajlo Pupin Blvd.) and shortly before each projection at Novi Sad Cultural Centre.
