SUPPORT FOR THE NATIONAL THEATRE
AFRS 25.06.2025.
Film directors of Serbia are hereby sending their unconditional support to their colleagues — actors and all employees at the National Theatre in Belgrade — who opposed the appointment of Dragoslav Bokan as president of the Board of Directors of this national institution.
We believe that leadership positions in culture must belong to individuals who possess professional integrity, relevant artistic experience, and the trust of their peers.
We stand in solidarity with colleagues defending the dignity of their institution and urge the responsible authorities to reconsider this decision, while calling on the artistic community and the wider public to raise their voices in defense of culture against attempts at political instrumentalization and degradation.

FOUNDING OF THE SERBIAN FILM DIRECTORS GUILD
Taken from the Film Center Serbia website, 22.03.2010.
On March 19, 2010, in the Balkan cinema hall, the Serbian Film Directors Guild (Asocijacija filmskih reditelja Srbije) was founded.
The founding assembly was attended by 61 directors, including Zdravko Šotra, Goran Paskaljević, Puriša Đorđević, Miroslav Lekić, as well as young unaffiliated artists.
Emir Kusturica, Miša Radivojević, Goran Marković, Slobodan Šijan, and many other doyens of Serbian cinematography, who were unable to attend, supported the founding of the guild with letters of support.
In a lively but constructive atmosphere, the members elected the first president, Darko Bajić, and the executive board consisting of Boban Skerlić, Zoran Popović, Oleg Novković, Srđan Golubović, Dejan Zečević, and Vladimir Paskaljević, who unanimously agreed that the main goals of the guild would be fighting for respect of the directing profession, realization of authors' rights for film works, and securing better working conditions.
The Serbian Film Directors Guild intends to actively participate in the revision of the Film Law and will announce its first concrete activities in the coming weeks.
