The International Film Festival Palić was founded in 1992 by the Municipality of Subotica. From the earliest small and unpretentious film screenings in Palić, through the persistent attempts to create a serious regional film festival in the hard times of isolation, and the first attempts at getting closer to the cinematography of the former Yugoslav republics then being at war, it has grown into an important spot on the map of the European film festivals. During the seven festival days Palić becomes a true European capital of culture, and year after year Palić audience proves to be the audience of the highest renown.
The 23rd edition of the European Film Festival Palić will be held July 16-22.
