Božidarac Cultural Center, Friday, September 18: Online lecture “How Did Festivals Shape European Cinema?”

Film critic Jovan Pjević leads a Friday evening talk at 7:00 PM on how Venice’s Mostra, Cannes, Berlinale, Locarno, San Sebastián, and Karlovy Vary have influenced the development of contemporary European cinema. As part of Europe Weekend in Vračar, this online lecture explores festivals not only as places of premieres, but as key moments where filmmakers are discovered, trends are set, and the course of European cinema is changed. The program is intended for anyone interested in film, the festival scene, and the broader cultural context of European production.
