Film "Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija" na turneji po Americi

Posle veoma uspešne premijere u Njujorku, film “Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija”, kojeg je Njujork Tajms nazvao “jednim od osveženja njujorške filmske scene”, kreće dalje na američku turneju.

“Turneja počinje u Čikagu a zatim slede i Vašington i Los Anđeles, a dodaju se i novi gradovi poput Toronta i San Franciska. Biće ih verovatno dodato još, jer su nas kontaktirali ljudi iz cele Amerike i pitaju kad ćemo doći i u njihov grad”, kaže Brane Bala, jedan od režisera.

Ova muzička komedija, bazirana većim delom na njujorškim avanturama Milana Mumina, legendarnog frontmena kultnog novosadskog benda “Love Hunters”, govori o ljubavi i praćenju snova. Mumin u filmu igra samog sebe dok kao taksista u Njujorku pokušava da sakupi novac za snimanje svog prvog američkog albuma.

“Drago mi je da se publika uspela poistovetiti sa glavnim likom koji prolazi kroz razne avanture ali i tegobe koje su, čini se, neizostavni deo svake priče o potrazi za snovima i, naravno, ljubavi”, kaže Milan Mumin.

Film je svoju američku premijeru imao u Njujorku u novembru 2014, gde je publika ovacijama pozdravila pored Milana Mumina i ostale glumce među kojima su Jelena Stupljanin, Eleanor Hačins (Eleanor Hutchins), Anika Peterson (Annika Peterson), Majkl Denola (Michael DeNola) i drugi.

“Srećni smo što se publici toliko svideo film i morali smo da se odazovemo pozivima ljudi iz drugih gradova i da krenemo na ovu turneju”, kaže režiser Nemanja Bala.

Turneja počinje u Čikagu simbolično na Dan Zaljubljenih 14. februara, a biće još dve projekcije 17. i 18. februara u čuvenom Gene Siskel Filmskom Centru. Zatim turneja nastavlja dalje u Vašington i Los Anđeles u martu. Sve informacije o turneji mogu se naći na sajtu filma: lovehunterfilm.com ili preko LeitmotivArts na www.facebook.com/LeitmotivArtsNYC
