    Gordan Matić has directed several theatre plays and short films, as well as the popular docu-fiction Ginger: More Than a Game  / Žućko - Priča o Radivoju Koraću  (produced by ReKreativno and Gargantua  Film)  and 10 episodes of the docu-fiction series Serbian Medieval Heroes / Srpski srednjevekovni junaci, aired on the Radio Television of Serbia - RTS.

    He has also been a selector for the Šumadija International Film Festival in Kragujevac and founder and lecturer at the FRKA film workshop. He is also a member of the Executive Board for Culture and Media FICTS in Milano, Italy and a member of the EFA - European Festival Association. 

    During Boban Jevtić's mandate (from 2015 to 2019), Serbia joined the MEDIA Creative Europe programme and the EFAD - European Film Agency Directors as the only non-EU member.

    The regular dynamics of the FCS co-financing competition was established, rising to 27 calls in various categories a year.
