2. "The focus of a place like Rex is on giving opportunity there where
the institutions cannot or do not want to provide those opportunities.
In that sense one can say that Rex is alternative and that Rex
stimulates avant-garde positions. But those words should not be
understood as something exclusive. They should be understood as a
position of exploring new grounds in the artistic and broader cultural
scene. Every developed cultural infrastructure in a town demands a free
zone. A laboratory in which experiment, research and the mechanism of
trial and error are essential. A free zone in which sometimes fantastic
things are happening and sometimes terrible, but interesting mistakes
are made. 

Rex is trying to bring in same foreign experience, to cooperate and
exchange with similar centers abroad, to give opportunity to young
people and to stay vital. Speculating about the future of theater, the
arts or culture or even avant-garde culture is always challenging. But
here and now it is more challenging to see and explore the present and
to go ahead from there. Step by step. 

Rex is a House of Culture and Arts. Rex tries to build and to force
changes."

Adrienne van Heteren - founder and first director & guide light of
Cinema REX

Cinema REX is independent, non governmental, nonprofit organization that
functions as a part of Radio B92 . We work from 1994 in space of
ex-Jewish community house. Founded in a very difficult time for
Yugoslavian culture (directors of all governmental-founded cultural
organizations - read all in Belgrade and Yugoslavia where replaced with
ruling political party members) REX had aim to give a roof to all art
initiatives that can't enter governmental institutions. Nowadays a
regular program of concerts, exhibitions, theater performances,
readings, video screenings, discussions and gatherings of local NGO's is
presented and REX is one of focal points of Belgrade (cultural) life.

short definition can bee that (Cultural center) Cinema REX is a free
zone for exploring new grounds in the artistic and broader cultural
scene, working in co-operation both with Yugoslav and international
cultural community namely for young audience in Belgrade and Serbia.
