Tesla film to have European premiere on April 6 in Belgrade

BELGRADE - US director Joseph Sikorski's Tower To The People, a new documentary about Nikola Tesla, will have its European premiere on April 6 at Sava Centar in Belgrade.

The documentary, which premiered at the New Yorker Hotel in October last year, is about Tesla's dream of sending free wireless energy from a mysterious tower and the Wardencliff laboratory on Long Island.

The film features materials obtained from the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade and the Wardencliff Project, including previously unseen photographs, and the music was written by Emmy-nominated composer Marina Arsenijevic.

Tuesday's press conference was also attended by Tesla's nephew William Terbo, the sole living relative of the great scientist.

The screening of the film is organised by the Toronto-based Tesla Magazine with assistance from the Belgrade city secretariat for culture and the Nikola Tesla Museum, and the event will be held under the auspices of Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic.

The film will not be included in the regular cinema repertoire, and tickets for the Sava Centar premiere cost RSD 450.
