Summary/Abstract: The paper critically assesses, from a legal point of view, one neglected aspect of artistic freedom of expression - the freedom of cinematographic speech. The most important sources and concepts of cinema law are presented and defined - far more precise than in the Serbian Cinematography Act. Authors have stressed out critical shortcomings of the current legal system of cinematography law in Serbia - such as the need to expand the subject of this law to all audiovisual arts. Furthermore, the authors point to the necessity of extending the circle of the authors of the movie on the director of photography, the chief editor, and dramatists; as well as the need for better protection of morals and other issues of public interest in Serbian society in the case they are offended by the movie's content. Finally, there is an unresolved issue of the status of the national film festival that needs to be regulated in future Audio-Visual Creativity Act.
