ABOUT THE MOVIE

Third World is more than just a documentary about Haustor – the legendary Zagreb band that shaped the music scene of the former Yugoslavia. It’s a story of two creative opposites: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher. Through sharp insights, a studio reunion, and vibrant archival material, the film reveals how a shared sensitivity to the magic of everyday life once brought together two contrasting artistic worlds to create a third one.
