• Tivat & Green Montenegro Film Festival

    Oh tardy, tardy me.
    A couple of days goes by and somehow I manage to get distracted and can't manage to update these posts.
    One of the reasons I came to Montenegro in August was to visit a couple of film festivals going on within the same month. For a film festival researcher, this is gold dust! (I know, I know, I must get out more.)
    So far, the Green Montenegro International Film Festival was a bit of a let-down. The place was interesting: deep in the Durmitor National Park, way up in the hinterland of Montenegro. 3 hrs + to drive there from the coast. The. opening. film however.... a Russian film set in Kamchatka with a cheesy American voice track, anthropomorphising red foxes. Oh, pleeease. Nicely shot but pretty risible in almost every other way.
    So, it's back to Tivat and topping up the suntan.
    The Windows are wide open and I can clearly hear the banging tunes booming up from some sound system in the town below. Euro dance pop - Yeuck!
