About Black District Blues
They say that the blues was born from suffering and from a desperate desire to overcome it, through music, through constant aimless travels, drowning in alcohol. If we talk about blues as all this, then Vili Fajdiga's life was a typical blues one. At that time (1920), in Zasavje and Trbovlje, similar social conditions were evidently established as in the American Mississippi Delta, necessary for the birth of blues music. This is a story about a difficult and varied life, creativity, passion, hope, about falls and not always ups and downs, about love for a woman, for music, for life.
Directed by Benjamin Kreže, Black District Blues leans on a strong ensemble — Iztok Kovač, Zoran Poznič, Dejan Knez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
