Next year, on the 100th anniversary of the first permanent cinema in Subotica, a scientific almanac will be published devoted to Aleksandar Lifka - concluded participants of yesterday's round table, who talked about Lifka, his works and deeds.
As moderator Saša Erdeljanović said, scientists from Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia that have already been engaged, are going to try to gather new details connected to life and work of Aleksandar Lifka. In order to make his character complete, authors from Subotica, Vojvodina and Belgrade will also, as he said, be involved in the study. "It is most important for us to get some new data on Lifka, especially those that haven't been published yet but also based on facts that can be checked. Since there aren't many facts, testimonies shouldn't be excluded", said Erdeljanović. Blažo Perović argued that although the Open University had already published works on Lifka, scientific almanac is really necessary for our guests and for us as well. "We have been giving the Aleksndar Lifka Award for eleven years now, and we still don't have proper monograph about him. Unfortunately, it isn't rare case that even winners of the award don't know anything about him which is, if they are foreigners, quite understandable. But it also happens to national directors", pointed Perović. Certain skepticism, especially about "deadlines and people" had Srđan Knežević, PhD, stating that he wasn't assured that foreign historians of film, "although well paid", would spend six months researching archives of Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest or any other city where documents about Lifka can be found. Before final talks about the beginning of work, goals and methodologies should be agreed on, he added. Dinko Tucaković, executive director of the Yugoslav Film Archives Museum, added that it was not enough to rely on authors of future texts but that publishing board should be formed in order to prepare future edition about Aleksandar Lifka. During the talk there were suggestions that some other names connected to "permanent cinema in Subotica" (Marjan Tumbas, for example) should be mentioned in the study, as well as some other cinemas in Subotica. At the end of this gathering, it was concluded that future scientific almanac should be written in three languages - Serbian, Hungarian and English, published and promoted at the next 18th European Film Festival Palić, in July 2011.

ROUND TABLE: THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL PALIĆ
The question regarding the future of the European Film Festival Palić was raised at the round table discussion yesterday at the JP Park Palić, when Dinko Tucaković, the host, asked the participants of the discussion when the cinema theatres in Subotica and Serbia died out, letting film festivals take their place. How should one balance between its royal highness - the Film, which has to stay at the very focus of the Festival, unavoidable accompanying programmes and festival atmosphere, which is necessary but not a goal itself, asked Tucaković.

THE DIRECTOR AT THE ONLY STRICTLY EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD
NO BUSINESS LIKE MONKEY BUSINESS This past week I spent five days in Palic, Serbia, at the only strictly European film festival in the world, now in its 16th year. I premiered my latest film, Boudica Bites Back, starring my wife Lisi, pictured below, at a giant outdoor screening. Ninety-four films are screened over an official seven days, with 19 extra days showing pre and post-festival films for the festival hardcores who can’t bear to go home. The musician Mick Harvey, co-founder with Nick Cave of the Bad Seeds, was also there.
