Tilva Roš

Tilva Roš is a 2010 Serbian coming of age drama following a group of skaters from Bor, a small mining town in eastern part of Serbia, during their first summer after finishing high school.

The plot revolves around Toda and Stefan, two best friends, skaters, who spend their first summer after finishing high school.

Toda gets injured during one of the stunts and goes to a hospital where he learns that he has to apply to the employment bureau in order to get health insurance since he is not a student any more.

Crap – Pain is Empty is a one-hour home-made documentary shot during 2005 and 2006 by Stefan Đorđević, Marko "Toda" Todorović and their skate group.

[3] Nikola Ležaić, writer and director of Tilva Roš, who is also born in Bor got a copy of Crap from his friend, and fell in love with it.

In that process he decided to make a film based on the video clips Stefan and Toda made, combining them with other real events that happened to them, to him when he was a teenager, and to the town itself, like the union protest that really happened in 2004, and in that way creating a loose fictional plot heavily based on real events.

The film combines "YouTube aesthetics" of the hand-held video clips and long, slow-paced, usually wide shots with complicated mise en scène.

The title Tilva Roš is the name of the area around Bor[4] where the first geological explorations of copper ore were done in the late 19th century.

Tilva Roš has been shown on over 20 international festivals including (Rotterdam, Warsaw, Thessaloniki, Miami, Buenos Aires, San Francisco) and was nominated for different awards.
