MIOB Lab of Cultural, Creative and Festival Journalism

This year marked the first time the Lab of Cultural, Creative, and Festival Journalism was held at Crossing Europe, an event organized for the fifth time by the European festival network MOVING IMAGES - OPEN BORDERS.

 

This year, the Lab was organized in cooperation with Cineuropa, one of the leading platforms for European cinema. Under the guidance of experienced Serbian journalist, critic, and curator Vladan Petkovic, the six participants at Crossing Europe gained first-hand insights into international film journalism.
