The first filmed sequences in Macedonia were shot by the brothers Milton and Janaki Manaki back in 1905. That marked the beginning of the film art not only in Macedonia but also in the Balkans. In honour of this important event, each year Bitola is the host of the Manaki Festival of Cinecamera, the only one of its kind in the world. The first Macedonian feature film, "Frosina" was made in 1952, and a few years later the first colour and cinemascope film entitled "Miss Stone" appeared. The films "Black Seed" by: Kiril Cenevski as well as "Happy New 1949" and "Tattooing" by: Stale Popov were shown at several international festivals. The film "Black Seed" from Kiril Cenevski was also shown at several international festivals, where its director and actors received awards. In Macedonia the centenary of the cinema was marked in an impressive way. The young director responsible for this was Milco Mancevski, who won the Golden Lion of the 1994 Venice Film Festival for his first feature film "Before the Rain". The film was screened at some thirty international festivals, it also won other accolades. The American Film Academy also nominated it for the Best Foreign Language Film Award for the Year 1994.
