Had a great time at the Neumann Inspires Film Festival! Nick Natalicchio and I ran a documentary filmmaking workshop, and "Watching the Wilds" won for best documentary!

Filmed in Southeast Serbia in 2015, the 26-minute "Music is my life” (2019), by Alex Djordjevic, opens with images of the muddy Roma camps, amidst rubbish, where most survive by collecting and selling recyclables, bottles and cardboard, while the majority subsist on meager benefits. However, the camera focuses on the smiling faces of the children, who find a unique way out of misery and unemployment in music. In those places, modeled after the internationally acclaimed musician Boban Markovic, Gypsies learn to play the trumpet and horn from an early age, aiming to excel at the famous annual traditional Serbian music festival for brass bands, held in Guča. The screen is filled with enchanting music, where children with trumpets and a tambourine play "Enterlezi".
- Ifigenia Kalantzi, film theorist-critic
