SHORT HISTORY OF SERBIAN NATIONAL SECTION FIPRESCI (FIPRESCI SERBIA).

   The International Federation of Film Critics (Federation Internationale de la Presse Cinematografique) was founded in 1930 in Paris. Today, FIPRESCI (www.fipresci.org) is the largest and the most important association of film critics and journalists in the world.
   Serbian section is one of the 47 national sections of FIPRESCI around the world. A group of film critics from the territory of the former Yugoslavia founded the YU FIPRESCI in the early seventies of the last century. FIPRESCI Serbia members are eminent film critics and journalists. The aim of our Association is to promote film culture and film criticism.

   One of our most important activities is The Annual  FIPRESCI Serbia Film Awards (former YU FIPRESCI prize). They have been awarded since 1993 as the result of the vote of members of the Serbian section FIPRESCI which is the only professional annual film awards for the Serbian film.
   In addition to the annual awards, which are awarded in February for the past year, our section is traditionally participates in all domestic film festivals throughout the year. Many of our members regularly publish film publications in Serbian and English. As members of the FIPRESCI Jury, members of our section participated in many prestigious film festivals around the world.
