Rockovnik (trans. Chrocknicle) is a forty-episode documentary aired on Radio Television of Serbia in 2011, written by Sandra Rančić and Dušan Vesić and directed by Vesić. The series focuses on the history of former Yugoslav rock scene from its beginnings in the late 1950s until the year 2000. The name of the show is a bilingual pun based on the words "rock" and "rokovnik" (Serbian for planner).
The show features the Led Zeppelin song "Rock and Roll" as the opening theme.
The first ten episodes deal with the late 1950s and the 1960s in Yugoslav rock music, the next ten episodes with the 1970s, and the following ten with the 1980s. The last ten episodes deal with the period from the beginning of Yugoslav Wars and the breakup of Yugoslavia to the 2000 political changes in Serbia, and, as with the dissolution of the country the Yugoslav rock scene ceased to exist, mostly with the Serbian rock scene.
Every episode features a small list of events that happened during the certain year, both political and cultural.
The first recordings were made at the end of the 1990s, but most of the recording took place during 2004, in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Rijeka, Pula, Kumrovec, Kragujevac and Novi Sad.
The show features interviews with more than 300 personalities, mostly musicians, but also critics, journalists, fans, and others.
