PanARMENIAN.Net - Goran Radovanovic's "With Fidel Whatever Happens" was
featured at Golden Apricot Yerevan-hosted international film festival.
This is his first participation in the international festival for
the helmer who used to "work in Serbia and for Serbia."
With the film set in Sierra Maestra, Cuba, 850 km east of Havana, the
fate of people of Sierra Maestra is depicted on a day of ideological
ecstasy, the day of the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of the
Revolution.
The next day, driven by inertia, they all return to the rhythm of
everyday life, which is the same and is not very promising. Everyone
is aware of that. Even the bullhorns that constantly blasts out
ideological slogans that are 52 years old. But the revolution
continues...
"I'm thankful to my communist childhood which allowed me to draw
parallels between Serbia and Cuba," the helmer joked.
In the film, the director addressed Cubans' fear of totalitarian
regime reigning in the country, incompatibility between the ideology
and the real life. However, the helmer doesn't judge his heroes,
instead trying to analyze the events.
Radovanovic was surprised to learn of U.S.-originated Mormon religion
in Armenia, which he believed odd in a country which was the first
to adopt Christianity. "It's clearly a great subject for a movie,"
the helmer said.
