Beldocs: We demand that the activists be released
The Beldocs Documentary Film Festival came of age with a clear demand to release the activists, giving recognition to all educational and university workers.
The Eurasian Academy of Cinematographic Art platform was presented in Moscow, in which Serbia is among more than 20 countries.
The Serbian delegation that is in Moscow these days, apart from Patriarch Porfiri and members of the delegation of the Serbian Orthodox Church, also includes the Minister of Culture, Nikola Selaković.
According to the announcement of the Ministry of Culture yesterday (April 24), the reason for the Serbian Minister of Culture to visit Moscow was the presentation of the International Cinematographic Academy "Eurasian Academy of Cinematographic Art" and the "Open Eurasian Film Award". On that occasion, Minister Selakovcic met with the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Olga Ljubimova.
Apart from the mentioned, there is not a single word in the announcement about the Eurasian Academy, judging by the title, an ambitious institution, and not even in the local media.
It was stated that "Minister Selaković emphasized that the establishment of the International Academy of Cinematography, the "Eurasian Academy of Cinematography Art" and the new awards are significant initiatives that represent a new international platform for cooperation in the field of cinematography and the encouragement of talented filmmakers. Selaković expressed his willingness to fully participate in this format of exceptional cultural importance."
It was also pointed out that with Minister Olga Ljubimova, Minister Selaković also discussed "the conclusion of the Agreement on cinematographic co-production between the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Government of the Russian Federation, considering the potential and possibilities of improving cooperation in the field of film between the two countries."

On the serbia.news.pravda portal, it is written that the Eurasian Academy was presented on April 22, and that it is a platform for filmmakers from different countries, as well as for the exchange of experience in creating and promoting quality films.

In the frenzy of political events and dramas in Serbia, ten days ago, a spectacular multi-level event brought together academia, politics, architecture, Europe, Novi Sad, micropolitics and a top artistic event. The news that Vladan Joler, artist, professor at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad and founder of the "Share" foundation, won the Silver Lion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture resonated as if it were some kind of collective victory, or at least the promise of a good outcome.
