The short feature film “KALAFON”

The fiery baptism of a Roma boy as the first violin of a folk orchestra: music,
laughter, fun and joy... but also money, easy women, weapons, and drunken fury.
How will the boy cope - and will he even survive the night?

 

SKROLUJTE DOLE ZA TEKST NA SRPSKOM 

 

ETM production presents Vuk Bogdanović’s short feature film “KALAFON” a film for
which we need your help to make it see the light of day.

The film follows a boy of Roma nationality who becomes the orchestra’s first violin
that plays during a controversial businessman’s private party. It is a true story of
Roma musicians, presented in a new, honest way, without caricaturing Roma
people. This film would present the difficulties that a national minority faces in our
environment, their attitude toward life as well as their unusual character traits.

The National Council of the Roma National Minority of the Republic of Serbia
recommends the “KALAFON” project for any further support, as it contributes to the affirmation of Roma music, culture, and language, as well as the diversity and
cultural richness that the Roma bring to our world.

The film was also supported by the Film Center Serbia, whose commission
emphasized in its explanation that it was a particularly high-quality project that
stood out due to its knowledge of the material and milieu in which the film took
place and the author’s great love for the leading actors.

The film has great festival potential, its musical background is attractive, and since
it is short, it can say a lot with very little.

Roma music, played with soul, is woven into every pore of this film and conveys
emotion to the audience (joy, sadness, pain, celebration...). The film will feature
original Romani music, which will in this way be preserved from oblivion and presented to a wider audience. The music for the film will be composed by prominent Roma musician Aca Nikolić Čergar.


ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Vuk Bogdanović is a screenwriter and director, born in Belgrade, Serbia.  Professional experience working on many films, TV shows and commercial directing. With this film he wishes to present his vision of the life stories of Roma musicians using the authentic language of the film and to point out this social phenomenon. 

By collecting funds for this short feature film “KALAFON” he would make his debut as a director. This would be a stepping stone in his career and open the door to other potential
projects for which he already secured some funding. 

WHAT DO WE NEED? / WHAT DO YOU GET?

We need funds to complete the film’s shooting, where some of the cost would cover rental of equipment and crew, but most of your help would cover the cost of film postproduction: editing, sound & soundtrack postproduction, color grading and marketing campaign. 

I’m sure we can make a film that everyone who contributed would be proud of!

We offer you interesting and creative gifts as a sign of gratitude for your financial
support! We will use all raised funds to improve the quality of our short film.

 

Thank you for your time - you have already helped us with your interest!

1. We would appreciate your financial help so that “KALAFON” sees the light of day
with our joint effort!

2. If you can’t support the film financially - it would also help us a lot if you spread the
word
about this campaign to everyone you think would like to participate!

3. If you are interested in volunteer work in one of the sectors during the filming
process, feel free to contact us - this kind of help is very useful!

 

Why is this film important?

The Roma community has long been marginalized and misunderstood, with their cultural heritage often overlooked or misrepresented. By supporting this project, you can play a crucial role in amplifying their voices and creating a more inclusive world.

Together, we can break down barriers and foster understanding through the universal language of music and film!

Kratki igrani film "KALAFON"

Vatreno krštenje romskog dečaka kao prve violine orkestra: muzika, smeh, provod i veselje... ali i novac, lake žene, oružje i pijani bes. Kako će se dečak snaći - i da li će uopšte preživeti tu noć?

 

ETM produkcija Vam predstavlja kratki igrani film Vuka Bogdanovića ,,KALAFON”, film za koji nam je potrebna Vaša pomoć da postane stvarnost.

Film prati dečaka romske nacionalnosti koji postaje prva violina orkestra na privatnoj proslavi kontraverznog biznismena. To je istinita priča romskih muzičara, predstavljena na jedan nov, iskren način, bez karikiranja Roma. Ovaj film bi predstavio poteškoće sa kojima se jedna nacionalna manjina susreće u našoj sredini, njihov odnos prema životu kao i njihove nesvakidašnje karakterne osobine. 

Nacionalni savet romske nacionalne manjine preporučuje projekat ,,KALAFON” za svaku dalju podršku, jer doprinosi afirmaciji romske muzike, kulture i jezika kao i različitosti i kulturnog bogatstva koje Romi donose u naš svet.

Film je podržao i Filmski centar Srbije, čija je komisija u svom obrazloženju istakla da se radi o posebno kvalitetnom projektu koji se izdvojio poznavanjem materije i miljea u kojem se odvija radnja filma i velikom ljubavlju autora prema vodećim akterima.

Zbog svojih umetničkih i zanatskih kvaliteta veruje se da će ovaj film ostvariti značajan uspeh na svim relevantnim domaćim i stranim festivalima kratkog metra na kojima će ,,KALAFON” biti predstavljen.

Privlačan je zbog muzičke pozadine koja prati film, saradnika koji bi na filmu radili a zbog kratkog trajanja u mogućnosti je da sa malo kaže mnogo.

Romska muzika koja se svira dušom, utkana je u sve pore ovog filma i prenosi emociju na publiku (radost, tugu, bol, slavlje..). U filmu će biti zastupljena originalna romska muzika koja će na ovaj način biti sačuvana od zaborava i predstavljena široj publici. Za potrebe filma muziku će komponovati istaknuti romski muzičar Aca Nikolić Čergar.

 

O REDITELJU

Vuk Bogdanović je scenarista i reditelj rođen u Beogradu, u Srbiji. Profesionalno iskustvo na mnogim filmovima, TV serijama i režiji komercijalnog materijala. Sa ovim filmom želi da prikaže svoju viziju životnih priča romskih muzičara služeći se autentičnim jezikom filma i da kroz svoju estetiku ukaže na ovaj društveni fenomen.

Prikupljanje sredstava za kratki igrani film „KALAFON” i zaokruživanje finansijske konstrukcije ovog projekta bi mu pomoglo da debituje kao reditelj. To bi bila odskočna daska u karijeri i otvaranje vrata za druge, potencijalne projekte za koje su neka finansiranja već ostvarena.

 

NEDOSTAJE NAM / VI DOBIJATE

Sredstva su nam potrebna za završetak snimanja filma gde bi nešto od troškova pokrilo  rentiranje tehničke opreme i ekipe, ali većina vaše pomoći bi pokrila trošak postprodukcije: montažu, postprodukciju zvuka i muzike, kolor korekciju i marketing.

Sigurni smo da možemo napraviti film kojim će se ponositi svako ko je doprineo njegovom ostvarenju!

U znak zahvalnosti za Vašu novčanu podršku nudimo Vam zanimljive i kreativne poklone. Sve uloženo iskoristićemo kako bismo podigli kvalitet našeg kratkog filma na još veći nivo. 

 

Hvala Vam na izdvojenom vremenu – svojom zainteresovanošću već ste nam pomogli!

1. Ukoliko ste u mogućnosti film pomozite novčano kako bi ,,KALAFON” zajedničkim trudom ugledao svetlost dana!

2. Ako ipak ne možete da podržite film novčano - velika pomoć nam je i da podelite vest o ovoj kampanji svima za koje mislite da bi voleli da učestvuju!

3. Ukoliko ste raspoloženi za volonterski rad u nekom od sektora na snimanju filma, budite slobodni da nam se obratite – i takav vid pomoći nam je i te kako od koristi!

 

Zašto je ovaj film značajan?

Romska zajednica je dugo bila marginalizovana i neshvaćena, a njihovo kulturno nasleđe često je zanemareno ili pogrešno predstavljeno. Podrškom ovom projektu, možete odigrati ključnu ulogu u osnaživanju njihovih glasova i stvaranju inkluzivnijeg sveta.

Zajedno možemo srušiti prepreke i podsticati razumevanje putem univerzalnog jezika muzike i filma!
