Kinopravda Institute

Kinopravda Institute is a factory of ideas exploring the various horizons of cinematic arts in the 21st century. Through a multidisciplinary program that operates along the axis of research-curation the Institute develops and presents creative work for audiences both offline and online. Kinopravda Institute is an independent initiative of the Vlada Petrić Foundation, based in Belgrade, Serbia and operating internationally.

Kinopravda Institute derives its name from the film series by legendary Soviet filmmaker and theorist Dziga Vertov. KINOPRAVDA is a double-homage, also to Vlada Petrić who was Henry Luce Chair of Cinema at Harvard University, and whose namesake foundation provides support for the Institute. Petrić’s book Constructivism in Film is the defining English-language monograph on Vertov’s life and work.
