It's Eurosong contest going on (yeah I know ) which every year reminds me to this unforgettable entry:

See, it wasn't bad at moments

I tracked down the only ever film made in Cornish language, titled Hwerow Hweg (Bitter Sweet). Not really worth watching unless you're curious how it sounds. It was filmed in Truro but at the beaches, too.

I'll do DAYS OF DREAMS myself if needed, there's veeeeeeeery little dialogue in there so it's easy, but I'm not really... hmmmm, enthusiastic about that one. Pretty much nothing happens there.

i made a detour pause to see another VG short... POWER (Vlatko Gilić, 1973) https://letterboxd.com/film/power-1973/crew/ Power is my favourite VG short. Ćirković also appears in Man Is Not a Bird by Makavejev. He's now long gone, I dunno when he died actually, but he ran a caffe in his hometown of ...

Newest Update : Survey of the best Croatian films in three categories: Feature, Documentary, and Animation. Conducted in 2020 with 38 participants. I haven't found the full Top 100 for features or Top 50 for documentaries or Top 50 for animated films, so this list is incomplete and only contains th...

Laibach was a thing across the border because they sang in English... No matter how good the bands were, if you sing in Serbo-Croatian nobody would give a damn. Of course, I too rarely play non-English bands anyway. But you could still appreciate some of the golden era (1980-81) Yugoslavian music wh...

I repeat again; Yugoslavia was NOT a part of Soviet block because Tito said 'no' to Stalin in 1948. Otherwise it would be assimilated as a satellite state as well. Once regarded as heroes, the communists who sided with Soviet Union and its sympathizers, were often sent to Goli otok(Naked Island) lab...

Great because one of my favourite Yugo films might be loved here; and very few have actually seen it: Kičma/Backbone by Vlatko Gilić. Coming!

Mojster Plečnik / Maestro Plecnik (1953) https://images2.imgbox.com/61/d3/juJY2E5X_o.png I just finished the subs for this UNESCO short (13min) which is about the work of famous architect Jože Plečnik. Not a very good copy, though. https://www.mediafire.com/file/b07dcrvrbt5vfyf/Mojster_Ple%25C4%258D...

It was Makarska where I actually almost got killed at the age of 6 (in the summer of 1988), but instead ended up with terrible nose deviation (still visible today) and 9 stitches on my forehead (not visible anymore). I went there with my grandma. Of course, the coastal towns have roads near sea; upo...

Even more so because people tend to focus on post-2000 or newer films honestly, don't i know it. i did see a few ballots where most of the nominees were around like the 1950's tho. (oh! H-8 was nominated, but i've seen that already) - i think this is because most of the pre-2000 ones people would l...

I'll ocasionally post some recs of mine, excellent! :) have you looked over the doubling the canon nominees mario? any balkan ones on there? i've spotted a greek one i haven't seen (the four seasons of the law), the romanian filantropica, and who's singing over there (plus it rains in my village, w...

Fine. Let this thread blossom then.

Okay can moderators change the title to an appropriate one, so we could cut short this unfunny charade?

Last month Gloede watched a bunch of Yugo films from the golden era, posted comments at ICM, so if it would be nice of him if he'd copy those over here. I'm also thankful that he took my recommendations for serious.

it's jiri's thread, if he wants it removed, obliterate! but if we are not simply to abandon that part of the globe maybe two separate greek and romanian threads could be started since they're fairly distinct cinemas (and poor orphans bulgaria & albania will have to piggy-back somewhere else) an...

Maybe Jiri got little upset because of my post above, Idk. I just asked a logical question.

It wasn't my intention to be rude ofc. Though I've never benefited from straightforward openness in real life anyway.

What Elia Kazan and Costa Gavras have to do with Balkan cinema?

Just leave it blank if you possess little to no knowledge of this region's films.

the second ain't THAT Hugo> this one was like 12-13 years old, and I'm positive it's Slovak. and "Hugo" is part of the title or just a character? was it an animation? any other hints you can recall? so far, i am clueless. I dunno, it's character for sure but maybe even falls into title. I...

Thanks alot, but the second ain't THAT Hugo> this one was like 12-13 years old, and I'm positive it's Slovak.

I assumed the first one couldn't be difficult for you.

Jiri maybe you could help me identify some Czechoslovakian stuff I've had chance to see as very young, in the 1980s. First it was an animated short about a sparrow who entered a train wagon but then he couldn't get out after he overfeed himself. The second was Hugo, something of a mudlark who walked...
