The International TV Festival Bar is held in the last week of October in the town of Bar lying on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro, one of the six former Yugoslav republics.
The Festival was started in 1994. It has endeavoured to preserve the loosened ties among people and nations of what used to be their common homeland, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and indicate that their future cooperation in the media and openness to the world is inevitable.
The first festival took place in 1995. After one year's break in 1998, it continued gathering more and more television centres from renowned European and world centres, as well as from all the republics of former Yugoslavia.
The Festival is held in the last week of October. As of 2001, the Festival (MEDIACOM Sector) also organizes events of different content and purpose, such as Meetings of Television Stations of South East Europe, and other similar events.

TRIFI Film Festival's goals are to:

- To promote and encourage future artists and artisans in the arts, media, and technology of film making.

- To further public awareness and appreciation of motion pictures as an art form, and

- To support the education of the general public in these areas by hosting annual film exhibitions, lectures, seminars, workshops, and other activities.

TRIFI's motto is “To spotlight independent films with limited budgets using unlimited imagination!”

Films may also be selected to screen with no extra fee at Radcon SF&F Convention in Pasco WA February 15-17, 2019 - Seattle Crypticon May 3-5, 2019 (2 hour block - Horror Shorts only)
