The Orfelin Circle presents:
Serbian Film Festival in Washington D.C.
The Serbian Film Festival in Washington D.C. celebrates Serbian movies in the USA. It was founded in 2024 with the long-term goal of becoming an annual manifestation in the capital of the United States of America that will promote Serbian culture and the seventh art, movies.
This first year, the festival is planned to last for four days, with pre-screening on Thursday, October 17th, and a closing ceremony on Sunday, October 20th. An accompanying program of the festival includes the opening and closing ceremonies, the festival’s award ceremony, and an expert panel.
We are actively working on bringing important guests to the festival, film artists who are known to the public, and forming an expert jury to choose the most successful projects in the festival competition.
As for the program part and the film competition for the festival, the festival team developed the final program that was announced in late August 2024. The festival will host films that have come out of production in the last couple of years, to show fresh and relevant projects, as well as the artists who are personally present at the festival.
Starting with D.C., the Serbian Film Festival plans to expand the festival to other cities across the US, like Atlanta or Miami, and it’s open for collaboration with local Serbian representatives. If you live in any of the cities in the USA where you would like to see this festival, please reach out to us so we can partner.
