SEE GOGOL BORDELLO NON-STOP IN NEW YORK!
Margarita Jimeno’s film Gogol Bordello Non-Stop is playing at the Village Cinema, New York, from 11th September. To get your tickets, go here.
As if you needed another reason to see this film, it’s just won a Musixine award!
“The winner of 2009 International Musixine Film Competition is Gogol Bordello Non-Stop directed by Margarita Jimeno. 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.”
Congratulations to Margarita!

MORE ON SULUKULE
DEAR ALL,
COMPLETE ERADICATION OF ANYTHING AUTHENTIC IS THE DARK THEME OF OUR TIMES.
SOMETIMES IT’S TRANSPARENT, SOMETIMES IT’S BRUTALLY OBVIOUS LIKE THE STRUGGLE OF SULUKULE, THE GYPSY NEIGHBORHOOD OF ISTANBUL. WITH OUR LIVES AND WORK WE TRY TO BRIGHTEN UP THESE DARK MOMENTS. SOMETIMES OUR EFFORTS ARE TRANSPARENT; SOMETIMES IT REALLY WORKS.
A YEAR AGO WE WENT TO SULUKULE TO EXPRESS THE UNITY WITH ITS RESIDENTS. WHAT WE SAW BROUGHT TO LIFE AN ACTIVIST SONG OF DOCUMENTARY NATURE, ‘EDUCATE THY NEIGHBOR’. THE RESPONSE TO THE SONG – IT’S WORTH TO KEEP TRYING AT ALL TIMES. POSITIVE FORCES OF TURKISH PRESS USED IT AS A GREAT SUPPORT FOR SULUKULE. IT SEEMS THAT EDUCATION OF THE BRUTES IS POSSIBLE, AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE OF HELP.
PLEASE TAKE A SECOND TO LOOK INTO THE CASE OF SULUKULE, WHOSE STRUGGLE CONTINUES.
HERE IS THE SONG AS WELL, AS YOU MIGHT OF HEARD IT AT LATEST GB SHOWS.
GB PERFORMS NEW SONG: SULUKULE (EDUCATE THY NEIGHBOR)
