Festivals in Belgrade, Serbia
FEST
FEST – Belgrade International Film Festival – A well-known and popular festival taking place in late February in four Belgrade cinemas. The selection of films ranges from the latest Hollywood flicks to films from lesser-known industries across the globe, and to old masterpieces shown in the Yugoslav Film Archives (Kinoteka). Films are shown in original version with Serbian or English subtitles (inquire in advance), they are never dubbed. Prices reflect FEST’s
usual friendly-rate policy and are typically around 1.5-3 euro.

BITEF
Belgrade International Theater Festival (BITEF) – An international festival of modern theater, BITEF has been the pride and joy of Belgrade for
decades and is one of the few genuine expressions of culture that survived the social and political upheavals and remains a symbol of unrest and
revolutionary spirit. BITEF is held from mid-August until the end of September, and it is definitely a special treat for all fans of
modern and Movement Theater.
In addition to the festival itself, the theater building is an experience of its own – it is located in a reconstructed Evangelical church very near Belgrade’s
bohemian quarter Skadarlija, and today also houses one of the city’s finest clubs, the Bitef Art Café.
