Jovan Đerić. The film's premiere in a packed Arena cinema<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.i27.info/images/press_bilo_jednom_dnevnik.jpg | title=Dnevnik newspapers, November 12th 2006}}</ref>, was followed by live sets from punk-rock bands Mitesers and Generacija bez budućnosti. The film is about the punk-rock scene of Serbia's [[List of second cities|second city]], [[Novi Sad]], in the first half of 1990s. People who made up this scene talk 15 years later about the rise and reasons for the fall in interest in this kind of music, widely popular in Serbia during the rule of the late [[Slobodan Milošević]]. As many of interviewees state, a common enemy - Milosevic and his regime - was a good focal point for the energy their music was making. When this enemy disappeared, the whole movement lost its edge and these days the story is very much low profile.

Film was part of "Made in Vojvodina" program of 2007 [[Motovun Film Festival]]<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.motovunfilmfestival.com/index.php?page=fpfull&nid=1813&sub=2&lang=en&p=1 | title=Motovun Film Festival - Made in Vojvodina}}</ref> ([[Motovun]], [[Croatia]]), presenting cinematography of [[Vojvodina]], and also as part of four-day event - "Enter UK" - about cultural influence of British sub-culture in Serbia), held in Novi Sad during the [[EXIT festival]] 2007 <ref>{{cite web | url=http://eng.exitfest.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=996&Itemid=242 | title=EXIT 2007 - Enter UK }}</ref>. "Bilo jednom..." was part of the program of several festivals (Grossmann ([[Ljutomer]], [[Slovenia]]), Filofest ([[Ljubljana]], Slovenia), ), and had a theatrical screenings in [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]] and [[Mostar]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]].

Sava Savić and Zgro are authors of the book "Novosadska punk verzija" (englishEnglish: Novi Sad Punk Version) that covers the Novi Sad Punk scene from its' beginnings at the end of 1970s (the book and "Bilo jednom..." are often wrongly perceived as part of the same project). Gagi is a character whose name is part of the title of a popular song from the period, and Buži acts as a guide through locations where gigs were happening and where youth hung out during the 1990s.

Authors used music videos by Generacija bez budućnosti, [[Obojeni Program]], Ritam nereda, [[Atheist Rap]], [[Zbogom Brus Li]], Vrisak generacije, Boye, [[Love Hunters]], DMT and Ska ringišpil.
