Abstract
The chapter on Serbia examines the significance of the new opportunities for Serbian cinema offered by the country’s inclusion in the Eurimages and MEDIA programs and identifies major turning points and thematic markers within recent Serbian films. It analyses several distinct facets of recent cinematic developments: the emergence of a new wave of young directors whose films contain innovative cinematic and social perspectives; the rise in popular historical genre films supporting nationalist values; and the abundance of commercial – but often unpopular - filmmaking, marked by repetitive genre formulas and stereotypical themes.
