DJ KOVAČ
Mario Kovač is traditionally the DJ at our closing party, where he manages to make the audience dance, shock them and make them laugh with his surreal cocktail of irreconcilable music. He plays music by all musicians between ABBA and ZZ Top, and turns the dance podium into a gladiator arena where exhausted dancers fight for their bare lives. They shoot filmmakers, too, don’t they?
