The Belgrade International Theatre Festival (abbr. BITEF ) is a theatre festival that takes place every September annually in Belgrade , Serbia.
Founded in 1967, BITEF has continually followed and supported the latest theatre trends.[1] [citation needed
During the 1960s, the founders of this festival (Mira Trailović , Jovan Ćirilov and their associates) courageously followed tumultuous events in global theatre teeming with avant-garde explorations.[citation needed In the 1980s, BITEF showed Belgrade the highest reaches of the art of theatre, thus becoming one of the few festivals comprising both experimental forms and significant classic achievements.[citation needed In spite of political-economic crisis and embargo, in the final decade of the 20th century, BITEF, thanks to the help of international culture centres, government and non-government organizations, managed to keep abreast with the rest of world, through promotion of new theatre trends and ultimate theatre values.
In 2000, BITEF was awarded a Special Prize by the Jury of the Europe Theatre Prize , in Taormina .[2] Premio Europa per il Teatro [3]
Important part of every edition of the BITEF festival is the jury. Since the beginning, BITEF has a competitive character, which is why the role of the jury is very important. Members of the jury are important theater creators from former Yugoslavia and the rest of the world.
