As part of the “Culture for Democracy” project, supported by the Government of Switzerland, the Pan\u010devo Film Festival<\/strong> was officially opened last week in Pan\u010devo. The ninth edition of the festival reaffirmed PAFF\u2019s reputation as a platform for auteur cinema, social dialogue, and the promotion of young artistic voices.<\/p>\n\n

This year\u2019s edition returned to its five-day format, once again highlighting the festival\u2019s mission \u2013 to be a meeting place for bold filmmakers, new perspectives, and socially engaged stories that shed light on current societal issues.<\/p>\n\n

The festival opened with The Naughty Girls<\/em>, directed by Ur\u0161ka \u0110uki\u0107, which is also Slovenia\u2019s official submission for the Oscars. Over the course of five days, audiences had the opportunity to watch more than 40 films<\/strong>, including numerous regional and international titles.<\/p>\n\n

The festival concluded with Jasmila \u017dbani\u0107\u2019s film Blum \u2013 Masters of Their Future<\/em>, this year\u2019s Bosnian Oscar candidate.<\/p>\n\n

A special emphasis was placed on working with youth<\/strong>: 12 short films by young authors were screened, and the award for the best film in this selection was decided by a jury composed of 16 high school students, under the mentorship of director Mina \u0110uki\u0107. In this way, the festival directly involves young people in critical reflection on art and society.<\/p>\n\n

The festival is supported by the “Culture for Democracy” project, which aims to strengthen the independent cultural scene in Serbia. The project promotes art as a tool for developing critical thinking, social responsibility, and democratic values, especially at the local level.<\/p>\n\n
