| From
1997 to 2000, our audience was able to follow current events
in the world underwater film production, through the selection
of films brought to us by Mr. Mercier, our guest of honor
and official associate of Belgrade festival. Each year number
of films, participants and viewers was getting bigger and
Belgrade festival became significant cultural and educational
manifestation, with many additional programs like underwater
photography and student poster exhibitions, children drawings
contest etc.
The
International Underwater Film Festival in Belgrade is a unique
opportunity to peek into the underwater world, to find out
more about it through films, photos, meetings with authors
and other underwater adventurers and enthusiasts. As usual,
the Festival program encompassed film contest and film revue,
underwater photography contest and exhibition, children drawings
exhibition, art students’ poster contest and exhibition, lectures,
presentations and many other events. Also, like every year,
income was donated to the Shelter for children without parental
care "Drinka Pavlovic".
We
are hoping that December in Belgrade will always be of deep
blue color and that the International Underwater Film Festival
will keep taking Belgrade to the world and bringing the world
to Belgrade.
