Arts in Eastern Europe

This page used to be called Audio-Visual, but I’m changing focus to highlight performing arts, film, independent radio, and literary journals and festivals in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia, as well as programs that cover the wider region or that are located elsewhere but feature work from the region.
Under construction!
