EXIT 2023: Focus on Mental Health and Ecology

EXIT Festival 2023 shines a light on vital issues, promoting mental health and ecological consciousness.


With a mission to create a better world together, the festival organized multiple opening ceremonies focused on spreading messages of peace and love. 

Throughout the event, festival-goers experienced designated phone-free zones, recycling initiatives, and inspiring messages highlighting mental well-being. 

In a powerful move, EXIT Foundation launched the "Life Is Live" campaign, raising awareness about the importance of young people's mental health and addressing digital addiction. 

The festival's eco-conscious efforts included large-scale recycling campaigns, collecting three times more packaging than in previous years. Visitors participated in green activities, earning prizes for their responsible waste disposal. In addition to promoting peace and unity, EXIT bestowed every visitor with the title of "peaceful traveler." 

Messages emphasizing mental health were displayed across the Petrovaradin Fortress, fostering an environment of tolerance and compassion. 

The festival also offered psychological and emotional support through the Cooperation Centre "Srce," conducting 584 interviews and underlining the growing need for such services. 

EXIT Festival further showcased the finalists of the HEMI music awards, providing a platform for emerging talents. 

The event also celebrated Balkan music through the MOST project, building bridges and connecting cultures. 

At the OPENS State of EXIT zone, over 20 civil sector organizations highlighted the significance of mental health, education, environmental protection, and healthy lifestyles.

Stars4Kids, a heartwarming tradition, saw performers donating items for humanitarian purposes, extending their support to those in need. 

EXIT 2023's dedication to mental health and ecology sets a commendable example, urging festival-goers to be agents of positive change in the world.

Movie - "Free Tekno" - world travelers who organize illegal parties in the forests

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.

Tillt Radio Record Store, Prishtina, Kosovo

Tillt Radio  is a new record store in Prishtina, opened 1 year ago. Located at BOHO in Prishtina's square, Tillt Radio record store is a very  warm place  where you can go  hang out , dig the crates for  vinyls  and enjoy  listening to music.  A while ago, I took a trip to Prishtina to meet a friend and surprise her with a vinyl from her favorite label, Klockworks I got for her birthday. That day was all about music and vinyls so, while i was there, i decided to go and visit Tillt Radio record store. I was very happy and excited for visiting the first record store in my life . I've bought vinyls before, from online record stores, but crate digging for vinyls, is a different feeling. There's nothing like crate digging! We needed a record store like Tillt Radio. I went there around 4 PM. I met Strella. He informed me about his record store and the genres he provides. There were various genres from pop, rock, blues to old electronic music.
