| The Belgrade Cultural Centre is a multi-disciplinary centre,
founded in 1957. The Centre’s programmes, through
different forms and through different media, deal with
important works of contemporary world art and science,
mass and high culture, but also with works of world and
domestic heritage. Adhering to the belief that both
established values and inspired alternative research
enterprises, as information and object of critical
judgement, equally deserve to be presented to the public,
the Centre is the organizer and co-organizer of
traditional events in Belgrade, such as the October Salon
and the Belgrade International Writers’ Meeting on
the one hand, and more alternatively conceived projects,
such as Manufacture Be, the Belgrade Summer Festival, The
Festival of Auteur Film - A View into the World on the
other. |
