Established in 2013, this festival was initially named Stripolisfest. At first it was held in June, actually as the closing event of the project Stripolis, organised at the Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, where every month there is a meeting of comics lovers: lectures or live talks with authors of comic books and graphic novels (also over Skype). In its fifth year, the festival was renamed as Tinta Festival.

Stoptrik International Film Festival was launched in 2011 by Pekarna Magdalena Network. Taking its name from the Serbo-Croatian word for stop-motion video techniques, Stoptrik is one of four worldwide festivals dedicated solely to stop-motion animation, featuring both screenings of recent productions as well as selected retrospectives. Via workshops and panel discussions, it also presents and develops various approaches to the stop-motion animation technique and is, in short, "an annual celebration of all things photographed one painstaking frame at a time".
