NAŠA VIZIJA
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.
In addition to its work furthering the mission of the Vlada Petric Foundation, Kinopravda Institute organises screen programs and gallery exhibitions, publishes books, and operates a distribution program for film and video.
Through its unique partnership with the Yugoslav Film Archive in Belgrade, Kinopravda Institute has privileged access to one of the largest and most unique collections of moving image materials in the world, which includes rare books and cinematographic objects.
Yugoslav Film Archive has a dedicated space for maintaining the Vlada Petrić Collection. Kinopravda Institute also works in partnership with Harvard Film Archive in caring for and propagating the Vlada Petrić Collection housed on their premises. The Institute serves as a bridge between these two world class film archives in North America and Europe.
Ono što posebno odlikuje delatnost našeg Instituta jeste posvećenost avangardnom i eksperimentalnom poimanju filma, što podrazumeva nekomercijalne, nekanonske i radikalne forme filmskog izražavanja. Različite prakse u digitalnim/internet prostorima od suštinskog su značaja za naš pregalački rad, i na tom polju nameravamo da sprovedemo novitete u programskom sadržaju, kao i u širenju znanja. Znajte da je Kinopravda Institut motor za fabriku ideja, koji se može preobraziti tokom stalnog izučavanja filmske umetnosti, njene prošlosti i budućnosti.
Dziga Vertov je jednom napisao:
“Ono što je dobro nije zaista dobro, nego samo ono što se smatra samoodrživim.”
Kinopravda Institut nastoji da kroz svoj pionirski neprofitni rad afirmiše pravu vrednost filmske umetnosti, kao i njeno sudelovanje i uticaj na ljudsko stanje – ka novoj definiciji KINOPRAVDE.
