She particularly highlighted the recognition that this festival received two years ago, when it was included in the five most important events of this kind in Europe. The festival has become a gathering place for young film artists, students and professionals, as well as amateurs and film enthusiasts, who improve their creative knowledge. This festival is an event where the future of Serbian and world cinema, to which we also belong, is being created. <\/p>\n\n
On behalf of the hosts, the large audience was welcomed by Timea Horvat, Deputy Mayor of Subotica.<\/p>\n\n
She emphasized that the Pali\u0107 European Film Festival in Subotica is a first-rate cultural event, because thanks to this festival, the greatest European cinematographers have been visiting our city for a quarter of a century. This festival gathers around 20 to 25 thousand people every year, over 200 film professionals come, while 100 journalists follow the film. The wind at its back has been provided by the biggest names in domestic cinema since its inception. <\/p>\n\n
