Free Zone Film Festival 2021

Free Zone Film Festival opens a space for debate, promotion, reconsideration and understanding of human rights, social phenomena and problems in the world and Balkans region. 

For 15 years, the Free Zone Film Festival has encouraged audiences to rethink their values, prejudices, and division of responsibilities in the social and cultural context in which they live.

Free Zone Film Festival is created out of belief that a good film experience can last much longer than its screening time and that it can provide access to alternative depiction of reality. This festival showcases films that are eye-opening and often leave their viewers with the feeling of freedom and responsibility that comes with being an active citizen. In these cases the art of film can actually make a difference. Free Zone is not only an increasingly popular annual film festival, but also a part of a broader initiative that runs throughout the year.
