International Festival of Ethnological Film in Belgrade is the event featuring the broad scope of ethnographic film themes and presenting filmmakers in research both of traditional and modern lifestyle and offering diverse insights, film forms and methodologies.
International Festival of Ethnological Film began its life in 1992 with topics presenting mostly national TV production on folklore and customs of the Balkan people. Over the years the Festival shifted to wide variety of issues in cultural and social anthropology around the world. Its mission is to foster research and creative approaches to ethnographic documentaries, to educate public and to raise voice addressing problems of contemporary society which often neglects values of cultural heritage.
The Festival is yearly organized by the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade. The Museum recently introduced the new Center for intangible cultural heritage which will further develop the event. The result of previous 20 festival editions is also the museum film archive consisting of around ethnographic 1200 films from 75 countries.
The Festival targets young people and academic population involved in social sciences and humanities, students and scholars in the art fields. It also endeavors to attract local communities cherishing their own cultural heritage.
