The story

International TV Festival Bar in Bar

The International TV Festival Bar has run each year since 1994 in the coastal town of Bar, typically held in the last week of October. Open to public and private television stations, production companies and independent authors, it showcases professional television content and remains Montenegro's only festival dedicated specifically to TV production, awarding a Producer's Award for the best overall selection.

The International TV Festival Bar occupies an unusual place among Montenegro's cultural events: it is built entirely around television, a medium that rarely gets its own dedicated festival anywhere in the region.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes the International TV Festival Bar is its narrow, deliberate focus: unlike broader film or arts festivals, it exists solely to recognize television production, a category often overlooked by cinema-centered events

02

The mystery stays covered

Founded in 1994, the festival emerged from a specific historical purpose, maintaining media connections among broadcasters from the former Yugoslav republics during a period when many other institutional ties had frayed

03

The city starts moving

That founding mission still shapes its identity, drawing entries from public and private stations, independent production companies and individual authors across the region

04

The water draws everyone in

As the only Montenegrin festival built specifically around television rather than film, it occupies a niche within the country's cultural calendar, and its Producer's Award for best selection gives working broadcasters and producers a form of professional recognition rarely available elsewhere in Montenegro
