This year's SUBVERSIVE FILM FESTIVAL is dedicated to the 40th anniversary of Yugoslavia's May 1968 Revolution.

The Subversive Film Festival, like any subversion in the broadest sense, is a reflection of material and spiritual social tensions and conflicts and an attempt to question the authority of existing institutions or value systems: subversively always attacks everything it controls and seeks to replace it with something as yet non-existent and excluded. pleasure. State methods of self-protection and control of production, communication, and distribution keep subversive messages inaccessible to the masses. This problem concerns especially the film because it requires money, technology, and specific space to show it.

The Subversive Film Festival is neither competitive nor revival, nor is it artistic or aesthetic. The Subversive Film Festival is an interdisciplinary, hypertextual, transsubjective, political attempt to demystify visual taboos, analyze the most powerful art forms of today that change humanity on a conscious and unconscious level, attempt to critique existing value systems and institutions in the context of science, philosophy and modern art.
