Sažetak
The article deals with the overview of contemporary film production in Serbia. The author states that there are four types of film production in Serbia: the European co productions/europuddling and Euroimage stories ; the no budget (experimental and buddy-buddy movies) ; mainstream or A production movies ; and commercial quickies. The funding background of these movies is divided between the Ministry (firm criteria), the City (loose criteria), technical participation of RTV (Radio-Television of Serbia) and Euroimage. Different sources of funding are reflected in the choice of topics that particular funder chooses. The firm but rather controversial selection criteria of the Ministry resulted in the fact that no feature film was funded in the year 2004 and 2005. The funding for script development resulted in support of mainly urban ‘ middle European’ topics, while films that were funded by the Euroimage preferred Balkan exotic at its best. In this rather difficult situation of the film production in Serbia, one positive thing emerged, and that is the creation of the so-called ‘ New Belgrade school’ of young film directors whose films depict urban escapism, and which are rich in postmodern saturated text. As a cultural industry, the film production affects overall cultural life of Belgrade by supplying new brands that reflect the present transitional phase of city life and regeneration.
