Novi Sad film festival drugu godinu zaredom opravdava svoj epitet internacionalnog uz filmska ostvarenja i stvaraoce sa čak četiri kontinenta – Evrope, Azije, Afrike i Amerike.
For the second year in a row, the Novi Sad Film Festival lives up to its title of an international event, showcasing films and creators from no less than four continents – Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.

Od 18. do 22. septembra u Novom Sadu, ovaj filmski festival pred publiku izlazi sa čak tri regionalne i četiri nacionalne premijere, a ovogodišnji laureat biće čovek za kog se kaže da je omogućio Supermenu da poleti, čuveni Zoran Perišić, reditelj vizuelnih efekata, dobitnik Oskara za tehnička dostignuća za legendarni film Supermen.
U glavnoj selekciji kandidat za Oskara, višenagrađivani reditelji, debitantska ostvarenja…
U glavnoj, takmičarskoj internacionalnoj selekciji, koja predstavlja najuspešnije dugometražne igrane filmove reditelja iz celog sveta, nacionalne premijere imaće sledeća ostvarenja: Voy, Voy, Voy! (Egipat), istinita priča i egipatski kandidat za prošlogodišnjeg Oskara, višenagrađivanog reditelja Omar Hilala, zatim ovogodišnje ostvarenje koje je već izazvalo oduševljenje na Pula Film Festivalu Šalša (Hrvatska), horor-komedija reditelja Dražena Žarkovića, koji je okupio saradnike iz čitavog regiona – Srbije, Hrvatske, Crne Gore i Bosne i Hercegovine.
Druge dve nacionalne premijere spaja to što su u pitanju debitanski dugometražni i igrani filmovi tih reditelja, a reč je o ostvarenjima Lena i Vladimir (Severna Makedonija), reditelja Igora Aleksova i The quiet maid (Španija), satirična drama reditelja Migel Fausa.
