Gogol Bordello Non-Stop (USA 2008), a film by Margarita Jimeno was the winner of the 3rd MusiXine International Music Film Contest.
The jury watched seven music documentaries in the competition. The jury claimed that all the films were of high quality, full of interesting characters and all so different it made the choosing difficult. Music seems to be much more than just rock'n'roll stars.
Jury Verdict
"Energetic, rough and dynamic just like the band the film is portraying.
Margarita Jimeno was able to follow the band from their early years to the beginnings of their international break through. The band is an unlikely mix of people of all ages and different nationalities, who come together to enjoy the freedom of music, with Eugene Hütz at the center drawing in both the audience and the people around him with his contagious energy. Margarita managed to not only portray a band but also the social aspects of being an immigrant and taking the possibility to play with identities. Also the film is fresh, enjoyable and punk."
Special mention was given to Solo (Poland 2008) by Maciej Pisarek, who with his film boldly mirrors the experimental modern music created by his main character.
