Cinema: Praslovan (Slovenia)

Feature-length documentary film Praslovan, directed by Slobodan Maksimović,

talks about Zoran Predin’s youth in working-class Maribor, fame and popularity

which he gained in Yugoslavia with the group Lačni Franz, as well as about his remarkable independent career with numerous hits that became classics.

His most famous songs in the film reflect the significant social changes of the time, as well as personal turning points in his life. This intimate portrait doesn’t just show the good times – the camera doesn’t look away even after dark, it keeps watching how it all affects his friends and family.

Important musical and cultural figures of the former Yugoslavia also appear in the film, including Đorđe Balašević, Branko Đurić and Gabi Novak.

Admission to all film screenings within the 25th Street Musicians Festival is free.
