BANDA i SRPSKI FILM bombarduju AMERIKU i BRISEL

Novi srpski film se za osvajanje Montreala zagreva u Briselu na tamošnjem festivalu filma fantastike koji se uz Sitges ubraja među dva najvažnija na svetu.

SRPSKI FILM Srđana Spasojevića imaće premijeru u programu Thriller Competition u kome će ove godine od već potvrđenih autora biti australijski velikan Russell Mulcahy koji je snimio HIGHLANDER i RICOCHET a sada nastupa sa ultrazabavnim filmom GIVE EM HELL MALONE; zatim Danac Ole Bornedal koga znamo po danskoj i američkoj verziji filma NIGHTWATCH sa novim filmom FRI OS FRA DET ONDE , španski CELDA 211 koji je pisao De La Iglesijin scenarista Jorge Guerricaechevarria a režirao Daniel Monzon kog znamo po odličnom trileru THE KOVAK BOX plus nekoliko atraktivnih newcomera i otkrića.

O SRPSKOM FILMU sajt briselskog festivala kaže:

This first feature film of Srdjan Spasojevic is unbearably violent, visually and thematically. But, if the images will inevitably shock, the treatment of the matter is far from gratuitous or complacent. On the contrary, this rough display of violence is just a way like any other to stigmatize it, to denounce the voyeuristic tendencies of an increasingly individualistic and fragmented society. Moreover, its cruelty is explained by the director of the Serbian Film Center, which is the main cultural and cinematographic organ of the State: “the violence shown on the screen is necessary to understand the history of the country and the troubles it’s going through.” Not for the faint-hearted.
PORNO BANDA će biti prikazana u takmičarskoj selekciji 7th Orbit, programu u kojem su ranijih godina nagradjivani Takashi Miike, Kim Ki Duk, Chris Nolan, Gaspar Noe. U istom programu će se recimo naći i Refnov novi hit VALHALLA RISING.
BANDA će takođe biti prikazana i u selekciji Midnight Shivers. Sajt festivala kaže o BANDI:
Serbia rules at the BIFFF ! Where A Serbian Film boldly goes where no torture porn would ever dare to tread, Life and Death of a Porno Gang is something completely different. The debut feature of Mladen Djordjevic is as shocking as it is original, as bizarre as it is darkly funny. Djordjevic earned himself a reputation with his two horror shorts The Living Dead (2000) and Hunger (2002) and his documentary about the Serbian porn industry Made in Serbia (2005). The turbulent recent history of Serbia provided plenty of inspiration for Porno Gang : from the horrors of the Yugoslavian civil war and the corruption of the Milosevic regime to the loss of hope and ideals. In a striking, documentary style, Djordhjevic paints a remarkable portrait of Eros and Thanatos in the underbelly of contemporary Serbia.

SRPSKI FILM overava Ameriku u Ostinu 15. i 16. marta dok će BANDA 26 i 30. biti prikazana na Boston Underground Film Festivalu na kome će ekipu filma predstavljati Nemanja Jovanova, direktor fotografije na oba ova filma.

Kevin Monahan, direktor programa bostonskog festivala kaže:
The Life and Death of a Porno Gang is quite like cinematic nitroglycerin: explosive and unstable. Hoplessness blankets the film under a bleak layer of depravity. This is the underside of a place that you never wanted to go, but are equal parts thrilled and repulsed to be along for the ride. It all makes for a stunning, amusing, disgusting, often depressing, yet frequently funny experience.—
