A short movie by Belgrade's best supermodel, Natasa Vojnovic and her photographer, Barnaby Roper. Some scenes contain nudity.

Euro sceptics and Euro believers, head for CZKD, Art bioskop or Dom Omladine today if you got time - there will be some interesting discussions. Sorry for not letting you know earlier, I somehow missed it.

I call this post "Saturday afternoon meat" in reference to Pengovsky's great "Monday morning meat" series.
In the same fashion, this one is not safe for work either. In addition it's not for the weak of heart, nor for vegetarians. Especially not for vegetarians!
David shows us how the Balkan people are preparing food for winter, (and here when I say food, I mean pig) - be warned though, pictures are very graphic. I remember when I was a kid at a countryside hanging around a pigslaughter, I didn't mind all that blood and guts, in fact it was very interesting to look at. Now I don't know if it would be so charming to observe... but I do still love a good pig roast.

The article from the Age is about the eternal mistery - the Belgrade apartment market situation. This line sums it up pretty good:

"I have no idea how people who work for 400 euros a month manage to buy apartments for half a million euros"

Zuko manages to understand Belgrade even despite of having read way too much Momo Kapor:

Belgrade squats above its own ugly-charming waterfront, the confluence of the Sava and the Danube rivers. Belgrade is raffish and roguish, artistic, under-employed, ill-advised, scruffy, defeated, bleak and romantic.  Belgrade is pretty much punk rock. 

Winter is coming soon and it's a good time to see a preview of the snowy Serbian landscape - photos from Jérôme Giraud's last years journey through wintery Serbia show exactly that kind of imagery. Thanks for the link, Jerome!

NikolaT has really mastered the art of postprocessing good photos to near perfection. Take a look at what his dreamy version of Belgrade looks like in Belgrade Experience set, but please take your time to look at his other photos as well, it's a time well spent.

Belgrade is usually a lively city, but not on Sunday mornings. Shtikla puts up four great photos of this "Sunday morning ghost town" feeling.
