Red Boogie

Shortly after World War II, the authorities send a group of musicians across the country to boost morale in agricultural cooperatives, labor brigades, and construction sites as part of the first socialist five-year plan. While striving to entertain the masses, the young musicians find themselves in a dilemma: they, too, must undergo ideological re-education to become devoted socialist youth, as their beloved jazz music is labeled imperialist. A newly restored tragicomic tale about the intersection of art, politics, and everyday life.

"Music is a truly important element for me. It brings movement into the static nature of my film style. At the same time, it also serves as a connecting thread." – Karpo Godina
