Not Only One Day of Slovene Women’s Film and Video

Selected by Maja Weiss.

A selection of films and video productions made after 1991 will be presented in a day-long marathon. This is a presentation of genres, lengths, formats and themes in work by different  Slovene women directors. This will be an important and unique event which has never occurred in the entire history of Slovene film.  

Why it has never happened, and why no feature movie has been made by a FEMALE DIRECTOR, why the women's omnibus fell through few years ago, why there are now women representatives on the managing board of the Slovene Film Fund and various commissions, why  and if at all there are better times to come for both film as a part of Slovene culture and female directors as partof it: all these questions  and their answers will be presented at the marathon in Kinoteka.

The programme includes:

- documentaries by TV directors: Helena Koder, Alenka Auersperger, Breda Kovič, Majda Širca, Alma Granič, Vesna Marčič, Gaga Stojan, Hanka Kastelic, Marjana Lavrič, Marjeta Keršič Svetel
