Kinoskop is a Belgrade festival of experimental cinema made on or from analog sources: Super 8, 16mm and 35mm film, found footage drawn from analog material and work made with analog video synthesisers. Films shot on phones or digital cameras are not accepted. Started in 2019, the festival programmes fiction, animation, documentary, found footage, personal, DIY and punk work, with particular interest in films from independent film labs. Curators including Nikola Gocić and Marko Milićević build the selections, and a live soundtrack strand pairs projections with new performances by musicians. A jury awards a Grand Prix, a Special Mention and a prize for the best original soundtrack.

The sixth edition ran on 8–10 December 2024 at the Museum of Yugoslav Film Archive, CZK Vlada Divljan and the club Dim. There was no edition in 2025; the organisers have since announced a special seventh edition devoted to analog student films and to films by filmmakers who teach cinema.
