EXTERNAL LINKS > GRESNICA BEZ GREHA | KINGALITA | KRITERION | BALKAN SNAPSHOTS

A young girl leaves her small village and fiancé to travel to Belgrade. While in the city she falls for a man she thinks is a wealthy aristocrat, not knowing he is really a bank robber. He attacks her and she barely escapes. In a state of shock, she decides to commit suicide…
This ultra-rare Yugoslavian silent film mixes several genres (melodrama, sexploitation, detective, comedy) to create a truly unique cinematic blend.

Just as unique and multifaceted is Amsterdam based Hungarian singer Kingalita and Turo Rudi Gypsy band with musicians coming from Hungary, Azerbeijan, Ukraine and Turkey. They create an exotic crossover which mixes  Balkan and gypsy tradition with an oriental flavor into a new original musical style. Kingalita’s powerful vocals and the band consisting of violin, bouzuki, kochon and darbuka will make the screening of “Gresnica Bez Greha” during the Balkan Snapshots Film Festival into a truly gripping and intensely moving cinematic live experience.
