CCA 5 Thursday 16th October 9.00-10.00 pm Trumpets' Republic Stefano Missio / Alessandro Gori Italy 2006 / 48 Mins In Serbia
trumpets are played when children are born. They are played when they are baptised,
when boys leave to do their military service, when they come back, when couples
get married and when they move to their new house. They are played at festivals
and at funerals. The trumpet is an important instrument in the emotional life
of the Serbs.
In Guca, a village of 5,000 inhabitants some 150 kilometres from Belgrade, every August for the last 46 years a festival has been held: the Sabor Trubaca, the biggest competition for Brass Orchestras in the world.
Trumpets' Republic is also a portrait of the Serbia of today. The festival proceeds against the backdrop of the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Dindic: two months after the murder a silent procession of citizens still flows to his grave.
