3rd edition of WOFF – 2014

The third edition of WOFF was held from May 21st to 24th, 2014. For three years, WatchOut! has developed to become a regionally recognized festival that actively spreads the work of visual narrators from all around the world. Initially originated by Center LOJA, Goethe Institute and Robert Bosch Stiftung, WatchOut! has continually provided possibilities for artists to express their stories free from any kind of pressure (political, ideological, geographical, etc.) By providing also workshops on film production, WatchOut! supports the development of local and regional art scene and remains dedicated to its natural sense of discovery and develop independent artists and develop independent artists and audiences in the Balkan region and wider.

For this third edition of the festival, 189 films were in competition. Films are divided into different categories and genres: Documentary, Experimental, Animation and Future Shorts.

WatchOut! although new remains confident in its future. The context in which it takes place and the content we offer makes this festival unique and this is what makes this festival WatchingOut!.
