About this program: Academic Film Center Belgrade was founded in 1958, in what was then socialist Yugoslavia, under the name of Academic Cine Club. Throughout its long history, the film and video artists who worked there made it one of the most significant and celebrated film clubs in Yugoslavia. AFC membership included some of Yugoslavias most famous cinematographers (Tomislav Gotovac, Zivojin Pavlovic, Kokan Rakonjac, Dragoslav Lazic, Sava Trifkovic), but also exceptional amateur and alternative filmmakers, and in the 21st century, visual artists and activists (Ivko Sesic, Nikola uric, Bojan Jovanovic, Miodrag Milosevic, Igor Toholj, Doplgenger Artist Duo, Julijana Terek, Zorica Kijevcanin, Biljana Belic, Ivana Todorovic). In 1976 AFC became part of the Students City Cultural Center, a government-funded public institution for student culture.
In 1982 AFC founded the Alternative Film Archive to take care of its film and video heritage, which now holds over 800 AFC-produced films and videos. In the same year, AFC also started Alternative Film/Video Festival (19821990, renewed in 2003), one of the oldest festivals in the region dedicated exclusively to experimental and alternative filmmaking. AFC is still an open space for experimentation in filmmaking processes of all types, especially for students and young authors.
This compilation presents a selection of films that were made in the Academic Film Center in the first three decades of its existence; films that indicate the themes that preoccupied the cine club in its formative years.

Founded by filmmakers Jon Behrens and Caryn Cline, ICSs mission is to provide material support for filmmakers working experimentally with celluloid film. The organization supports emerging and established filmmakers through Lightpress digitization grants and the Engauge Experimental Film Festival (hosted at NWFF), and encourages new filmmakers through the ICS Educational Initiative. Their ultimate goal is to foster more work on celluloid and to help offset the enormous costs of making film work available in high quality digital formats.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
