The festival
Belgrade keeps its window on auteur cinema. From 20 to 27 November 2026, the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival — the FAF — holds its 32nd edition: 80 films across eight sections, screened in six venues around the Serbian capital.
Founded in 1994, the festival has become one of Europe's gatherings for auteur cinema: a space of freedom and debate, where films that ask questions meet a loyal, growing audience, and where the new generation of filmmakers from Serbia and the region finds its place.
An opening signed by Mungiu
The curtain rises on Friday 20 November at mts Dvorana with Fjord by Cristian Mungiu, winner of the Palme d'or at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. The closing film, on 27 November, is Oče naš (Our Father) by Goran Stanković.
Eight sections, six venues
The main programme tells a year of cinema in names: Andrey Zvyagintsev, Mike Leigh, Hirokazu Koreeda, Ryusuke Hamaguchi. The 32nd edition also launches a new section, Jugosfera, and spreads its screenings across mts Dvorana, Dvorana Kulturnog centra, Jugoslovenska kinoteka, Dom kulture Studentski grad, the Kolarac Foundation and CineGrand Rakovica.
