Bilo jednom... (original) (raw)
Bilo jednom... (English: Once Upon a Time) is a 2006 rockumentary by Serbian filmmaker Jovan Đerić. The film's premiere in a packed Arena cinema, was followed by live sets from punk-rock bands Mitesers and Generacija bez budućnosti. The film is about the punk-rock scene of Novi Sad, in the first half of the 1990s. People who made up this scene talk 15 years later about the rise and reasons for the fall in interest in this kind of music, widely popular in Serbia during the rule of the late Slobodan Milošević. As many of interviewees state, a common enemy—Milosevic and his regime—was a good focal point for the energy their music was making. When this enemy disappeared, the whole movement lost its edge and these days the story is very much low profile.
