As a means of support to Serbian cinema in the most troublesome of all recent years, FAF 2025 pays special attention to domestic productions, emphasising the strength, diversity and authenticity of contemporary authorial expression on the domestic scene.
Thus, six Serbian feature films will have their national premiere at FAF.
The festival opened with Serbian director Nikola Ležaić’s sophomore feature How Come It’s All Green Out Here? / Kako je ovde sve tako zeleno?, which was produced by Serbia’s Qče in coproduction with Croatia’s Nukleus Film, Bulgaria’s Premier Studio and Serbia’s Forgrade, and supported by Film Center Serbia, and the Croatian Audiovisual Centre.
