Serbian Cinema has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century, with its first films produced in the 1900s. The industry gained international recognition during the Yugoslav era, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, when filmmakers like Dušan Makavejev and Emir Kusturica emerged, blending social commentary with unique storytelling styles. In recent years, Serbian films have continued to evolve, exploring themes of identity, war, and social issues. Festivals such as the Belgrade Film Festival showcase both local and international talent, contributing to the global appreciation of Serbian cinema and its diverse narratives.
