GUČA: Serbian Detox
When you detox in Serbia, you eat, drink, and enjoy the music.
The most celebrated brass band festival in Europe is in GUCA. Paradoxically, it is a backwoods village located in the very heart of Serbia, but it beats with a passion and rhythm that unites the whole world. An entire region is a unique place where East meets West and the North borders with the South. The Celtic rhythm, a southern warmth, the Latin romanticism, and the Slavic sentimentality is present everywhere. It radiates within the culture, the food, the people and the music.

A filmmaker with a curious take on life, Igor Stephen Rados is always searching for the "other side" of a constant riddle that needs to be solved. His work is driven by the explicit visual language and a dynamic editing approach.
Rados is best known for his award-winning films, including the politically provocative dark comedy Nursery Rhyme of a Madman, the cheerfully exotic documentary, GUČA: Serbian Detox, the existentialist drama, Deja-Vu Deja-Vu, the energy-driven documentary, Bike Couriers in Toronto, and the controversial satire, Tax For Homeless.
Born in Belgrade, former Yugoslavia, Rados has lived with his family in Toronto, Canada, since 1988. He graduated from the School of Business at George Brown College in 1994, Liberal Studies in Film and Theatre at York University in 1996, and Film Production with Honours at York in 1999.
