Novi Sad film festival i Kubanski institut za filmske umetnosti i industriju (ICAIC) potpisali su Memorandum o saradnji, sa ciljem razmene stručnog znanja i resursa i zajedničkih inicijativa.
The Novi Sad Film Festival (NSFF) and the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation aimed at exchanging expertise and resources and launching joint initiatives.
Memorandum je potpisan u Galeriji likovne umetnosti poklon-zbirci Rajka Mamuzića, od strane direktora NSFF, Vanje Hovana i Aleksisa Triane Ernandesa, direktora kubanskog Instituta.
„Nadam se da je ovaj Memorandum o saradnji zapravo samo početak jednog velikog partnerstva, a izvesno je da je za Novi Sad i za naš festival ovo jedno novo poglavlje. Verujem da ćemo u narednih pet godina imati priliku da ostvarimo sve što imamo u planu. Ovakve interkulturalne razmene i saradnje su uvek inspirativne i plodonosne jer nude mogućnost da sagledamo drugačije teme, upoznamo drugačiju publiku, a iznad svega – da shvatimo koliko toga zapravo imamo zajedničkog”, izjavio je Hovan.
Kako bi doprineo kontinuiranom razvoju u oblasti filmske industrije u obe zemlje, Memorandum je stupio na snagu na period od pet godina od dana potpisivanja. Za to vreme očekuje se da filmadžije iz dveju zemalja uzajamno prisustvuju festivalima u partnerskim regionima, realizuju koprodukciju audio-vizuelnog sadržaja, privlače globalne investicije te organizuju razmene studenata, glumaca, reditelja, producenata i drugih filmskih radnika.
ICAIC je osnovan 1959. godine sa misijom da razvija i promoviše kubansku kinematografiju u svetu. Od tada, Institut važi za jedan od stubova kubanske savremene kulture i zaslužan je za nastanak najznačajnijih ostvarenja kubanskog filma, ali i za formiranje specifičnog društveno-angažovanog izraza po kojem je ova kinematografija karakteristična.
Publika Novi Sad film festivala će ove godine imati priliku da u okviru revijalne selekcije World Cinema pogleda upravo kubanske filmove nastale pod okriljem Instituta, a koji se prikazuju u Poklon-zbirci Rajka Mamuzića. O rasporedu ovih filmova možete se informisati ovde.

The agreement was signed at the Gallery of Fine Arts – Rajko Mamuzić Collection by Vanja Hovan, Director of NSFF, and Alexis Triana Hernández, Director of ICAIC.
“I hope this Memorandum of Cooperation is only the beginning of a great partnership. For Novi Sad and for our festival, this marks a new chapter. I believe that over the next five years we will be able to realize everything we have planned. Such intercultural exchanges and collaborations are always inspiring and fruitful because they allow us to explore different themes, reach new audiences, and above all, realize how much we actually share,” said Hovan.
The Memorandum takes effect for a period of five years from the date of signing. During this time, filmmakers from both countries are expected to attend festivals in each other’s regions, co-produce audiovisual content, attract global investment, and organize exchanges of students, actors, directors, producers, and other film professionals.
Founded in 1959, ICAIC has the mission of developing and promoting Cuban cinema worldwide. Since then, the Institute has stood as one of the pillars of contemporary Cuban culture, credited with producing the country’s most significant films and shaping the socially engaged style that defines Cuban cinematography.
This year, NSFF audiences will have the chance to see Cuban films produced under the auspices of ICAIC as part of the World Cinema showcase, screened at the Rajko Mamuzić Collection. The screening schedule is available here.
This year’s sponsors of the Novi Sad Film Festival are Neoplanta, Coca-Cola, Converse and Hotel Pupin.
