“Bitef wants to save what can be saved, because it was never just an artistic review, but rather also a platform for the social struggle in favour of progressive values, and those are today the most basic, human values: normalcy, goodness, love.”
“The task of this year’s BITEF is to reconcile us with the fact that we are living in a troublingly dangerous world, to prompt us to ask whether and how theatre and art can counteract that, and to jolt us out of our aesthetic prejudices.”
The French Embassy hosted a ceremony to present the prestigious recognition of the French Order of Arts and Letters in the rank of knight to pianist Jovanka Višekruna Janković, Bitef art director and selector Ivan Medenica, and Milan Savić, director of the Belgrade SAXperience festival
