With much pride we announce that the opening film of Grossmann 2012, taking place from the 16th to 21st of July in Ljutomer, Slovenia,  will be Serbian drama Doctor Ray and The Devils, directed by Dinko Tucaković. The film is based upon a real-life story about famous director Nicholas Ray’s stay in Belgrade in the mid-sixties. With a perfect blend of reality and fiction and with plenty of humour, Doctor Ray and the Devils offers a unique insight into the mystery which surrounds this particular period of Ray's life, as well as a look behind the scenes of at that time extremely thriving Yugoslavian cinema. Paul Leonard Murray excels in the leading role while Dragan Bjelogrlić brilliantly portrays the head of Belgrade's Avala Film Ratko Dražević.
We will again be visited by Dinko Tucaković, our dear friend and collaborator and the president of the Vicious Cat jury at Grossmann 2010 and 2011 editions. Last year he already exclusively presented the promo reel for the unfinished movie, so it is a tremendous joy and honour to host the regional premiere this year, even more so considering that it is a true labour of love that took more than 30 years to make.
