“Up to 10,000 selection” is one of the most captivating selections of the Cinema City festival. Every year it discovers new talents and gives them the opportunity to assert themselves in the film industry. Programme selecor is Maja Miloš, director of “Klip”, the winner of last year’s Cinema City Grand Prix for the best domestic film. The films that are applying cannot be shot before 2011. All film genres are welcome – short films, documentaries, animated films, feature films, etc.
“Up to 10,000 bucks” selection has so far presented authors from Serbia, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Hungary, Holland, Israel, Germany, the USA, New Zealand and many other countries. Last year IBIS award for the best film was won by Srđan Keča for “Mirage”. As is tradition, this ensured him a seat among jurors for 2013.
