Drvengrad

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:15:29

Mokra Gora is home to the village of Drvengrad, built by enigmatic filmmaker Emir Kusturica in 2002 for his film Life is a Miracle . Quirky, colourful flourishes give the village a fantastical feel: the Stanley Kubrick cinema shows Kusturica's films, whimsical cars and curious cats peek around every corner, and Bruce Lee St is home to a restaurant where you can sip 'Che Guevara biorevolution juice' and goggle at prime panoramas. Drvengrad hosts the international Küstendorf Film and Music Festival each January.

'Drvengrad' means 'wooden town'; Kusturica's Kamengrad ('rock town'), an ode to Bridge on the Drina author Ivo Andrić, recently opened just across the border in Višegrad.
