A Docufilm we produced a couple of years ago.

The setting is rural Serbia. 200,000 people invade the sleepy village of Guča for a week of music, drinking, dancing, and utter madness - all to the sound of Serbian/Roma gypsy trumpet bands, competing against one another like wild-eyed Mexicans in a stand off.

The film centres around the ambitions of two young trumpet players in their quest to win 'The Golden Trumpet'.

If you enjoyed the opening scenes of the 1992 Cannes film festival winner 'Underground', then you will love this documentary.

Guča - Serbia's most famous provincial music festival - is finally brought to life in this brilliantly executed documentary.

But the real magic lies in the host of eccentric and entertaining locals who appear throughout: bellydancers, comic barbers and an extremely bizarre family on a hill.

Crack open the nearest drink you can find and prepare to be entertained...

    Bonkers but brilliant. Love the quick cuts and overlayed techniques, they really added to the feel of the piece, getting the mayhem across beautifully. Nice work!

    Fantastic video. I am a first generation American, and my nationality is Serbian, where my parents were born. I haven't been to Guca, but hopefully my family and I will go one year.

    Music of Bregovich, tuba, pipe and trombones remind me my favourite artist-surrealist Magritte

    Great look/feel... How/what did you do to get that warm film grainy feel in post? Or did you shoot it on film?

    Thanks again Brian

    The doco was shot on DigiBeta, edited and graded on Final cut. The blotches are from a super 8 composited on top. Pretty simple really.
