Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade

The exhibition “Today Is the Day When No One Brought the Ball…” (Mar. 19th – May 4th, 2026) represents an important segment of artist Predrag Terzić’s artistic practice and the culmination of his longstanding research into basketball as a socio-cultural phenomenon. In it, Terzić contemplates contemporary sport as a reflection of broader social dynamics, tracing its transformation from an activity that bound together local communities into a globalized spectacle followed by millions through digital media. Kinopravda Institute participated as an organizing partner in the presentation of this exhibition in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, and has also organized a screen program for it.

Alternative Film Video

Alternative Film Video was established in 1982 by Academic Film Center (at Students City Cultural Center) in Belgrade. It was originally conceived as a meeting point for film artists across Yugoslavia. By 1985 video was incorporated into the program. Practically every significant film artist and video artist from the former Yugoslavia participated in the festival, including Želimir Žilnik, Tomislav Gotovac, Karpo Godina and many others. In the early 2000s an international competition program was added. Since then many iconic film artists and video artists from all over the world have shown their work at AFV, including Hito Steyerl, Chto Delat, Peter Tscherkassky, Rose Lowder, and many more. Alternative Film Video is known for its rigorous noncommercial stance and its fierce dedication to alternatives for all existing conditions in film art and video art.
