Q&A with Srdjan Dragojevic
June 3, after the screening of multi-awarded film The Parade at 19.30, Odeon Cineplex
The turbulent farce from The Parade toys with clichés and stereotypes and turned out to be an unexpected hit in Serbia. In The Parade a life-saving operation on a gangster’s pit-bull terrier brings together two very different worlds: old school machismo meets gay obsession for interior design, as a number of former foes find themselves obliged to form a tenuous bond with a bunch of gay activists. This motley crew is sent on an impossible and probably suicidal mission to protect a fresh attempt to hold a Gay Pride parade from renewed and certain onslaught from nationalists and neo-Nazi organizations and make the event a success.
