Cinema City festival marked the previous day to the last seat filled with screenings, films especially the local cinema!

The attention of students and young filmmakers are particularly preoccupied with the two competition selection Up to 10,000 bucks section for low budget films and Educons Hungry Days.

Their art and charisma, especially director Dresen left a very positive impression and charmed the audience of the Festival. Beside the film program in recent days visitors enjoyed the afternoon program Burn and Chill Zone in the Danube Park with DJ music. For master-class sessions, we learned that it is possible to make a film with no money, while still being very successful, and even shown at Cannes and other prestigious festivals. His experience is generously shared by the protagonist of Donoma, guest of festival: the fact that the young Sekubu Dúkur waited and after a master-class and continued.
Director of the Forum des Images, Lawrence Hertzberg, spoke of the importance of the festival for all ages, highlighted the importance of cinema in an educational context, the importance of producing within their own country, emphasizing that her vision of the film as a very reliable means of information transfer and the formation of a certain consciousness of individuals. Dresen in informal conversation with Dubravka Lakic gave the film a place for him in an existential story and that he as the author of each story has to live up to the first place - and that it is a requirement in creating a quality film. These are just some of the master-class held at the Academy Cinema Now Live program, which this year brought a special edition of the festival, an important dimension.

Among many jurists of festival there seen the past days were: Laurence Herszberg, David Manuli, Mary Nazary, Lorena Pavlič director of Kino Otok Isola, Martin Schweighofer, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, Simon Perry British film producer ex director of British Screen and Irish Screen, Jean Roy, Mira Staleva, Will Tizard, Joao Pedro Rodrigues, Zvonimir Jurič, Santiago Fillol, Rajko Petrović, Nevena Matović, Irena Škorić etc…
