Cinema City Parallels

As part of this year’s accompanying programme, Cinema City parallels, the audience will get to enjoy numerous events as part of the additional, but no less fascinating, programme. Applied arts, skaters, youngsters, volunteers, children, and ecology are just a part of what we have prepared for you.

Resident skaters, for whom a visit to Limanski Park is part of their everyday lives, will continue with their practice during the festival. The audience will get to enjoy their performances and skills, but also other numerous activities especially designed for this occasion.

Festival DEV9T has been recently held in Belgrade. Cinema City was presented at the festival as part of the Cinema City favela, where it screened some of the films from its previous editions. Now it’s our turn to present Festival DEV9T. Numerous sculptures of renowned sculptor Viktor Kiss, who is also known as the initiator and founder of the famed Belgrade club Ciglana (Brick factory), will make an integral part of the Cinema City festival. A unique showroom, a club, and a bar that breathes art, Ciglana has recently played host for the DEV9T festival, which is envisioned as an art colony that brings together all those who know the value of culture under the slogan Stvaraj dalje! (Continue creating!) Viktor Kiss is also known for his engagement in the visual identity of the Warrior Dance Festival, designing the Prodigy’s dancing warriors, but mostly for the vigour that he brought to Serbia’s cultural scene.


Centre E8 organizes the National Be a Man meeting, which will gather 12 young men, representatives of Be a Man clubs (Budi muško klub – BMK) from 12 Serbian cities. These clubs gather young activists who organise public campaigns, workshops and other events in their cities, with the aim of promoting the fight against violence (especially gender-based violence), gender equality, healthy lifestyles, and activism. This gathering will be another opportunity for socialising, teambuilding, and workshops, but its primary mission will be to achieve new agreements and plan public campaigns that will be held in those 12 cities on August 12, International Youth Day. BMK members are coming to the Cinema City festival for the first time, adding another dimension and value to this festival and its film and music programmes.
