A Bunch of Macedonians Claim ‘Punk’s Not Dead.’ Watch the Trailer and Decide for Yourself

To be honest I don’t know much about Vladimir Blazevski’s Punk’s Not Dead. Hell, I never even heard of it until I watched this trailer but, if you ask me, any film about punk rock and has the personality to back it up has to, at the very least, be entertaining.  Did I mention that this is about punk rockers in Macedonia?  The two items go together like Mayo and Oreos but sometime the most unlikely of combinations can churn out great things.

Word around the interwebs is that people have been praising the film and I’m really curious as to the main reasons.  So far, after watching the trailer, I can tell that the feature is going to be a wild one but I’d really like to know how deep it will dive into the punk culture, much like SLC Punk.

Check out the plot and trailer below and let us know what you think.  PS It isn’t really safe for work.

Protagonists of this black-comedy are punks who deliberately remained at the margins in muddy times of Macedonian transition. The routine of  their outsider’s survival is disturbed by an offer to make a reunion of  their one-time cult punk band and play at some bizarre  “multi-cultural-happening”, which is to prove the false image of  Macedonia as a land with relaxed ethnic tensions.
