Welcome to the International Short Film festival FROM Guardian Angel 2, in Mali Idjos, Serbia. As before, this year will be held in the State of Art , from 30th August to 1st September 2024.

Unlike the previous year's festival, in addition to the Roma theme, which makes it special, FROM will also include films dealing with universal theme of migration and dystopian films. In a society where many people are heading for a better future, there are too many who are being brought back, banished and disappointed. It is for this reason that we will dedicate the festival to the stories of the "exiles".as we want to see how our fellow filmmakers around the world think in these kind of situations.

This year, the film festival FROM, in addition to the competition program, will feature some of the works of the noted world directors in their revue, who dealt with these issues in their work.
Applications for this year's festival will be accepted until July.

The goal of the FROM festival is to highlight the different perceptions of the views of the Roma and the Roma community, as well as to contribute to a kind of paradigm shift in the Roma that have not yet used their social and cultural capital in the major community and other communities in the forefront of better understanding, And participation in society, "equal opportunities".
The FROM Film Festival will be the only film festival in the country that will show both domestic and foreign film's about the Roma theme within two day, also a movies which are social responsible.

This FROM in two competitive nights will feature a short film program from both selection, Serbia and the region, as well as abroad.

The best SHORT-FROM 2024.

The film must be with subject which include any of socially vulnerable groups, ROMA theme or with "Dystopian films" subjects, bleak future that might be in front of us. We want to see what our fellow filmmakers think in this kind of tough situations and what is possible to create.

    After I found out that my film was included in the selection, they only asked for the download link of my film and I could not communicate with the festival committee again. They did not even respond to my e-mail asking how the festival went. I see this as a great disrespect to labour. We filmmakers do not send our films to festivals to be treated like this. Most importantly, that's why we don't make films! There are no awards.

  • I wasn't able to attend, but according to the friends and colleagues that sent me all the best experiences about festival From - Returness, I'm hoping I'll get the chance to come in some of the next years and to be selected with new work!

    Thank you for selecting "Yasin", it was a really amazing thing for the small crew gathered around the film to get a chance to screen a documentary we made with our hearts.
