==Background/Production==
The idea for the film caughtcame to the author some months after he saw "Sretno dijete", a musical documentary about trends in [[Yugoslavia]]n urban sub-culture from the beginning of 80s. In December 2004 Đerić approached Minja Dunđerski, a prominent manager of rock manageracts and gig organizerpromoter, with the idea to make the film, and so the story starts. Dunđerski was credited as a co-writer, and also was a consultant and connectiona tocontact for most of the characterspeople appearing in the film, as well as contributor of most of the archive materials. Filming started on July 3rd 2006 on [[Belgrade]] promotion of book "Novosadska punk verzija", continued during [[EXIT festival]], and after pause continued from the second half of August through to mid-September 2006.
A [[Panasonic AG-DVX100]] digital camcorder was used for filming, while archive footage was down-converted from [[Betacam]] tapes. Most of the interviews were shoot in [[progressive scan]], just to be converted to [[interlaced]], due to archive materials that were all interlaced.
