About Požarevac Film Festival
Physical film festival with submission categories including FIRE - INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILMS and BAKLJE - SERBIAN SHORT FILMS.
Our ideology is to make good films for a good audience. We focus on long talks and Q&As after each short film (no blocks of films and then shorts Q&As after.
We put our effort into bringing all the authors to the festival. We are also screening feature films but as a side, non competitive section.
Accommodation and food is provided for all selected filmmakers. Unfortunately we can cover travel costs only to participants coming from inside of Serbia.
