Sound and Music Film Festival Makedonska 21 is taking place in an old Belgrade building dating back to early 20tth century (1928), which is situated on Makedonska 21 street. This was the building of the strongest workers union at the time, founded to promote highly respected values of mutual respect and solidarity. After the Second World War the premises were used by Radio Belgrade as the location of Studio 10, which was the home of most significant radio dramas and music records. This place was responsible for introducing the art of sound to Belgrade listeners and making it an essential part of their cultural heritage, proving itself to be of an immeasurable artistic, cultural, and social significance.
Today, the building is a blend of residential and commercial units. Relying on the building’s rich history, their residents decided to give something in return and contribute to its tradition by starting a film festival that celebrates the art of film music and sound design.
The festival is intended to be a professional networking platform for anyone coming from these fields –film composers, sound designers, sound recordist, music producers, musicians, music bands, to name a few, in order to give them the opportunity to explore, learn, exchange their knowledge and unite ideas.
The festival welcomes films of all categories – documentary films, short fiction films, experimental films, animated films, of all genres, as long as they are commited to creative use of their soundscape.
The bulding premises alow this event to spread its sound magic on various stages simoultaneously – from the monumental hall with great acoustics, and music store Metropolis located on the ground floor, all the way to the roof top, where people can enjoy films and live music over drinks under the vast Belgrade sky.

“Accussì” was born from the broader idea of creating (in the future) a real Festival “for the eyes”, dedicated to the beauty of “local” territories, of spaces such as towns and villages that often experience dynamics of abandonment, and which instead in this project they become the theater of various types of performing arts, and primarily of a series of short films. The objective is to make the area of Giampilieri, sadly known in the news due to the floods in Messina in 2009, a place in which to welcome and talk about the beauty of cinema, without abandoning themes and contexts of a more "local" dimension .
The greatest ambition connected to this festival of short films is that it represents the beginning of a process of territorial valorisation where the central theme will always be the cultural redevelopment of the Village: a festival of short films "to begin with", a "Festival For Occhi" in all respects in the coming years, an event where cinema, theatre, visual arts, murals, sculptures and outdoor performances will meet and intertwine to enhance the entire context, contributing to its regeneration.
