Last Saturday, June 27th, the awards of the 4th annual Cinema City International Film Festival were announced at the closing ceremony in Novi Sad, Serbia. The festival gives its signature Ibis Awards in several categories to films in its three competition sections: ‘National Class’ (contemporary Serbian cinema), ‘Exit Point’ (international art cinema) and ‘Up to 10.000 Bucks’ (low-budget cinema). In addition to Cinema City’s main juries for these three sections, the festival invites critics from FEDEORA, FIPRESCI and the Serbian branch of FIPRESCI to give their awards. There is also an Audience Award, which allows the public to vote for their favourite film.
