Having in mind the current epidemiological circumstances and the health of the audience, guests and the Festival team, the FEST Board decided to hold the upcoming, 49th edition of the Belgrade International Film Festival FEST on the new dates, from May 7th to 16th, 2021.
The biggest and most famous film event in Serbia and the region is being prepared and will take place under the slogan ’Back to the Future’ with the intention to contribute to a sizable return of audiences to cinemas.
This year’s programme will present more than 70 films of the latest world and Serbian productions through several programme segments, which the audience will be able to see in the halls of the Sava Centre, Kombank Hall, Belgrade Youth Centre and Cineplexx Galerija Belgrade.
In the 1960s and 1970s, one of Yugoslavia’s most famous performers was a Belgrade traffic policeman, the inimitable Jovan Bulj, who turned directing traffic into an art form.
If people were asked to name the most glamorous occupations, it’s doubtful that “traffic cop” would be too high on the list. But, the glamorous direction of traffic is exactly what the citizens of Belgrade got in the late sixties and early seventies from a policeman named Jovan Bulj.
Dressed in an impeccable white suit and gloves, Bulj worked as a traffic policeman, directing traffic at the end of the then newly built Terazije tunnel near the Belgrade Youth Centre.
