A familiar fountain, a school or a quiet house can take on a second life on screen. In Karlovci, films and television add their own memories to the town’s history.

Familiar places, different stories

Lajanje na zvezde connects the town with school days and first love, from Karlovci Grammar School and the Four Lions fountain to nearby Stražilovo.

The house of Dimitrije Anastasijević Sabov became a library in Varljivo leto ’68. Karlovci’s Catholic church also found a place in Tito i ja.

A setting for history and poetry

The historical series Vuk Karadžić was partly filmed in Karlovci. Its precise locations in town are still to be discovered.

In August 2016, the town welcomed the production of Santa Maria della Salute, the story of Laza Kostić and Lenka Dunđerski. The 2016 film and 2017 television version offer two ways into that story.
