60th Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival Explores Political History Through New Research
The 60th Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival, also known as "Kratki metar," took place from April 2-6, 2013, at the Belgrade Youth Center and other venues in Belgrade. This anniversary positioned it as one of Europe's oldest film festivals of any kind. Researcher Dunja Jelenković is examining the festival's history and its relationship with the shifting political climate in former Socialist Yugoslavia, now post-socialist Serbia. Greg de Cuir, Jr., based in Belgrade, reported on this development for ARTMargins Online. The investigation aims to contribute valuable insights to broader film culture by exploring how political transformations influenced the festival's trajectory over six decades.
