Open Air Cinema: Story about 'Indexi' and a drama about Croatian veterans
Mediterranean Film Festival is going to screen the first documentary film about ‘Indexi’, directed by Zoran Kubura and Bojan Hadžiabdić, within the Open Air Cinema off program.
This awarded documentary brings the story about the Tailcoated Rockers who, in their four decades of existence, wandered from the avant-garde to festival schlagers and back, remaining one of the most authentic phenomena of the Yugoslavian music scene and a trademark of their city.
“Sarajevo has spawned bands that sold more records and became more popular than Indexi, but, for Sarajevo’s people, none were greater than them”, the authors pointed out.
Besides this musical treat in the Open Air Cinema program, the visitors of the 22nd MFF are going to see Branko Schmidt’s fiction film about revolted Croatian veterans – ‘Once We Were Good for You’.
Schmidt's drama is based on Josip Mlakić’s story, inspired by the events in front of the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs in Savska Street in Zagreb, when so-called tent guys - just like in the movie - took gas bottles to the streets at the height of the confrontation with the then government.
Leading roles in the film are played by Rene Bitorajac, Nela Kocsis, Slaven Knezović, Rakan Rushaidat....
