European Film Festival Palić
14/07/2012 @ 17:00 - 20/07/2012 @ 22:00
At several locations in Subotica and Palić, from 14 to 20 July, the 19th European Film Festival Palić is being held.
This year’s special guest of the festival is Anthony Giddens, one of the most important sociologists of modern day. He will participate in the debate on “Climate Change and Politics,” which takes place 15th July in Conference Room Small inns in Palic, at 10 hours.
Films will this year be shown in several selections: Official selection, Parallels and Encounters, Young spirit of Europe, Underground Spirit Award, New Swedish Film, New Hungarian Film, Eco Documentaries, Children’s Program, Hommage Program and Special Screening.
The Official selection will present films of such great directors like Christian Petzold, Srdjan Dragojević, Cristian Mungiu, Timo Vuorensola, Ulrich Seidl and others.
The Parallels and Encounters program brings a very successful film “Clip” by a young Serbian director Maja Miloš, the latest film by a famous Macedonian director Teona Strugar Mitevska, but also promising new works of authors like Rainer Sarnet from Estonia or Gabriel Achim from Romania.
The highlight of this year’s “New Swedish films” program is a film named “Beyond”, a directoral debut of a celebrated Swedish actress Pernilla August with incredible Noomi Rapace, while “New Hungarian Film” brings the lastest film by a legendary director Istvan Szabo and great filmmakers like Atila Till, Marcell Jankovics, Judit Elek, Peter Bergendy and others.
Palić International Film Festival was founded 20 years ago. From the earliest small and unpretentious film screenings in Palić, through the persistent attempts to create a serious regional film festival in hard times and the first attempts at getting closer to the cinematography of the former Yugoslav republics, it has grown into an important destination on the map of film festivals in Europe. In the year 2003, with its 10th edition, it became a European Film Festival and a member of the European Coordination of Film Festivals.
Today the European Film Festival Palić is one of the most important film festivals in this region and one of the few in the world with 100% European content.
