THE SHUTKA BOOK OF RECORDS
(Knija Rekorda Sutke)
by Aleksandar Manic, Czech republic/Serbia/Montenegro/ Macedonia, 2005, 78'.
Original version with subtitles in Portuguese.
In the Balkans there is a rare place, hidden from the world, called Shutka, the presumed world capital of the Roma (gypsies of this European region). This documentary captures the unbelievable history of this city and its inhabitants, who organize goose fights, vampire hunts, extermination of evil geniuses, circumcision parties and the most absurd contests, such as the largest cassette tape collection. Shutka really exists, you think with a smile.
