In order to ensure the active engagement of artists, film production company workers, young aspiring artists and cinemagoers, each of the screening sessions and events included appearances by special guests, authors and young film professionals from both sides of the border. The screenings and supplementary events provided a platform for future cooperation and artistic endeavours in the domain of film and culture. A forum for professionals, intellectuals and interested members of the general public living in the region intensified the feeling of belonging to the common region. The artists and film enthusiasts attended workshops, trainings, and public and professional events. Aspiring young artists and film students from both sides of the border presented their work in the Young Talents Competition. The films were also screened at the Cinema City Festival in Novi Sad, introducing them to the general public.
