NAFFIT has ended and nothing is known about it: neither who is its creator, nor who selected the films and series, nor why they were shown in the pre-festival program, nor who decided on the awards. It is only known that Nastasja Kinski was on it
The 2nd National Film and Television Festival (NAFFIT) is being held in Zlatibor with a partnership with Russia and guests from China, and a boycott of film associations from Serbia.
At the 2nd National Film and Television Festival, there are no films and series in the festival part of the program, there are only in the introductory part. Among them are series by Gaga Antonijević, and films by Željko Mitrović and Telekom
Signing the contract for 17 million dinars for the National Film and TV Festival, Minister Selaković expressed the hope that the Film Center of Serbia will announce competitions before the start of the festival in Zlatibor.
Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković says that the state invested 11 million euros in 53 films that were not made. The Film Center of Serbia organizes a panel on this problem and invites directors and producers to Zlatibor, the headquarters of the National Film and Television Festival, even though the entire film industry boycotted it.
The Film Center of Serbia has invited directors and producers to a panel organized in Zlatibor with NAFFIT, the National Film and Television Festival for "loyal and similar", which, like the entire film industry, boycotted last September

Giving thanks at the Lifetime Achievement Award, actor Petar Božović said that the National Film and Television Festival was an uprising, and that the audience had had enough of demolitions.
The first NAFFIT was opened in Zlatibor, as the state's response to the spontaneous development of culture - Minister Selaković announced. That is why there are no actors, directors and others who create Serbian films on it

Seven film associations are boycotting the National Film and Television Festival in Zlatibor. They say that it is inappropriate for the state to launch a domestic film festival considering that it does not invest in domestic cinematography.
After its executive director Vladimir Vasiljević left NAFFIT for moral reasons, "Vreme" learned that three members left the Art Council of this large state project.
And the Association of Film Actors, after the directors, screenwriters and cinematographers, are calling for a boycott of NAFFIT, i.e. the Gaga Festival, as it is called in public after the director Predrag Antonijević
As "Vreme" learns, Vladimir Vasiljević resigned from the position of executive director of NAFFIT in Zlatibor because he does not want to participate "in a project that receives funds from the state to the detriment of everything else."
The establishment of the National Film and Television Festival in Zlatibor represents an attempt to privatize and usurp culture for the sake of its instrumentalization for daily political purposes, and that is why the directors and screenwriters call on the cultural public to completely boycott NAFFIT
About twenty days before the start, Zlatibor, Priboj and Nova Varoš are ready for the start of the first NAFFIT and will do everything so that this big event for them is not politicized. It is known that all films made in 2025 will be shown, but it is not known exactly which ones
NAFFIT, the first Serbian National Film and Television Festival, was founded. It will be in Zlatibor, as Minister Selaković said - at "three borders and a crossroads of cultures", and according to the idea of director Gaga Antonijević
