Alternative Film & Video Festival Belgrade. Alternative Film/Video is an international Festival established in 1982 in Belgrade, Serbia (Yugoslavia). As a meeting place for artists, theorists, critics and the audience, the Festival’s goal is to record and theoretically define movements, promote constructive values and support new creative possibilities in visual media. The Festival provides a glimpse of the current state of new film and video tendencies in the region and the world. The founder and the organizer of the festival is Academic Film Center of Students’ City Cultural Center.

The festival was held for the first time in 1982, as Alternative Film Festival, with the proclaimed intention to explore works that do not fall into easy categorizations, and that operate counter to dominant commercial and aesthetic trends. Selection included all modes of alternative, experimental, art, personal and radical films… Since 1985 the festival changed its name to Alternative Film/Video becoming one of the first film festivals in Europe to show films and videos equally in its competition selection. In that way, the festival established and further explored the relation of alternative film and video production to commercial and classical cinema, but also the relation between film and video aesthetics and production. Discontinued in 1990, the festival was reestablished in 2003, first as a regional (ex-Yugoslav) festival, and since 2006 as an international festival.

Important side programs aimed to form a referent frame for contextualizing the contemporary alternative and experimental cinema worldwide. The festival side program usually consists of two multimedia exhibitions, an opening performance, a workshop and various public programs. The Alternative Film/Video Research Forum (since 2012) and the two open panel discussions are traditionally places where film artists, theorists, historians, archivists and curators discuss and debate important topics for alternative cinema. These discussions are transcribed and published annually since 2003.
