Third World

Third World is not merely a feature-length documentary about Haustor, one of the most distinctive and influential music acts of the former Yugoslavia — it is a cinematic meditation on the complex relationship between two opposing creatives: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher, the founding forces behind the band. Far from being a nostalgic portrait or a standard biographical account, the film is a mosaic of opposites united by the everyday magic of Zagreb, a city whose spirit, contrasts, and imagery shaped them — and whose essence resonates through Haustor’s unique aesthetic. The film brings together candid conversations, piercing observations, rich archival footage, and most notably, a reunion in the studio after forty years to record a new version of the song Third World. Back in 1984, the original album was met with confusion; today, it is hailed as one of the most important pop-rock records of Yugoslav music history.
