Dvorana Kulturnog Centra Beograda (Serbia) won Best Programming at the Europa Cinemas awards for 2023. Founded in 1963, Dvorana Kulturnog Centra Beograda located within a cultural centre is one of the film theatres with the longest tradition of continuous activity in the city. Besides its rich weekly programming, the film theatre also hosts and co-organizes some of the most important film festivals in the country (THE AUTEUR FILM FESTIVAL, BELDOCS…) as well as thematic screenings (GOETHE FEST, DAYS OF CONTEMPORARY DANISH CINEMA…). Highly devoted to the cinematic arts, in 2016, the centre opened a film gallery, an exhibition space dedicated to the exploration of film and visual arts. Diversity is at the core of the cinema`s identity, influencing both its film programming and activities. This commitment extends to events, workshops, and discussions, creating a vibrant space for all audiences, while providing a bilingual space in both Serbian and English. A member of the network since 2006, the cinema has featured more than 80% of European programming over the last year, displaying the richness of cultural perspectives with films representing more than 20 nationalities on its screen.

Given in three categories since 2002, this significant recognition for outstanding actions and sustained efforts highlights the ongoing commitment of network exhibitors to encourage the circulation of European films, the diversity of programming and development of audiences, targeting in particular the young public.
