Das 2011 gegründete Prokuplje Short Film Festival ist das jüngste Filmfestival in Serbien. In Prokplje findet eine Veranstaltung statt, bei der das Publikum das Beste aus den Bereichen Dokumentarfilm, Experiment, Animation und Fiktion aus der ganzen Welt sehen kann. Tausende von Filmen aus der ganzen Welt kommen an der Adresse des Festivals an, und das spiegelt sich auch in den zahlreichen Zuschauern in Prokuplje, aber auch in anderen Städten Serbiens und der Region wider, da das Team eine Tour organisiert, bei der die besten Filme in über 30 Städten präsentiert werden. Das Fehlen des Kinos sowie das Fehlen eines Films als Unterrichtsfach in der Schule hindern junge Menschen daran, etwas über diese Kunst zu lernen.
Um etwas von diesem Inhalt zu sehen, müssen die jungen Leute nach Nis oder sogar nach Belgrad gehen. Dies ist eine Gelegenheit, die neuesten Kurzfilmerfolge aus der ganzen Welt in Prokuplje zu sehen. In den letzten Jahren ist laut Untersuchungen die Besucherzahlen bei Festivals auf der ganzen Welt zurückgegangen. Aus diesem Grund und aufgrund der Einführung des Films bei jungen Menschen haben wir die Arbeit an alle Grund- und weiterführenden Schulen mitgebracht, die potenzielle Zuschauer sind und durch die Präsentation von Festivalfilmen und die Diskussion über die Bedeutung des Festivals belebt werden. Neben der Arbeit mit jungen Menschen in Prokuplje ist der Film Club Prokuplje der erste, der damit beginnt, das Publikum aus den ländlichen Gebieten zu animieren, die von allen Veranstaltungen, insbesondere kulturellen Veranstaltungen, völlig ausgeschlossen sind.
