This year, international film festival Cinema City is celebrating its 10^th anniversary. The 10^th Cinema City will take place from 1^st to 3^rd September in the Lower Town of the Petrovaradin Fortress, as a part of Gradić Fest.

This year, Cinema City’s academic program, which is meant to support networking among professionals and educate the viewers, will include educational content – filmmaking workshops for children, seminars for professionals who use creative industries in their work with young people, panels which will present possibilities for financing films, and similar content.
