Perseverance by Miha Knific Vztrajanje, 2016, DCP, 16:9, in colour, 100 min

Is our true self defined by the memories left unsaid? Preservance is a mosaic of fates, depicting the experience of human life in all its depth of emotions, in all of its sensual, memorial and ideological wealth. It is a collage of moments we are unwilling or incapable to discuss, a mosaic of memories and secrets we keep to ourselves. It is a film about the cacophony of reality, where the tragic is contrasted with the banal, the sublime with the profane, cruel with beautiful, and crowded with lonely. An homage to life at its toughest. A shameless compilation of stories about them – and us. As a filmmakerMiha Knific (1976) mostly deals with people’s stories, explores ex- treme situations, and is especially interested in the freedom that these existential situa- tions create – in the situations that change individuals, their attitudes to the world, and the world in itself. directed & written by Miha Knificdop Aljoša Korenčan edited by Sandra Mitić production design Boban Selected Filmography Petrushevski costume design Tina Bonča make-up Mojca Gorogranc Petrushevska • cast Štefka (feature) Drolc, Brane Grubar, Katarina Čas, Lu Q Huong, Aljaž Tepina, Demeter Bitenc, Ivanka Mežan, Perseverance, 2016 Bine Matoh, Ivica Knez • production Nukleus film producer Siniša Juričić co-production This & That Things, I Want to Do with Nukleus film Productions, Helios Sustainable Films co-producers Snežana Penev, Patrick Kofler co-funding You, 2015 www.nukleus-film.hr Slovenian Film Centre, Croatian Audiovisual Centre, BLS, Film Center Serbia, Viba film Let Me Sleep, 2007 [email protected] Slovenian Film Guide_Fiction & Documentary 11

A Comedy of Tears by Marko Sosič Komedija solz, 2016, DCP, 1:1.85, in colour, 75 min

Albert is an elderly man – a cynic, choleric, and racist. He is in a wheelchair, living in a spa- cious flat in Trieste, immersed in his solitary obsessive memory fragments involving the unresolved relations with his family members whom he had distanced himself from a long time ago. His only contacts with reality are Ida, an educated middle-aged lady who comes from Istria to Albert’s place twice a week in order to clean up, cook for him and bathe him... And his staring through the window. One day Albert and Ida’s time together starts with Albert nagging cynically and aggressively. Ida puts up with his annoying tirades with dignity and peace, but that ignites Albert’s malicious behaviour even more. A Comedy of Tears tries, with its bitter sense of humour, to reflect one of the many pictures of the contemporary everyday society, its spirit and its evident disorientation. Marko Sosič (1958), writer and director. For many years he has worked as the art coor- dinator of the Slovenian Theatre in Trieste and at the Slovenian National Theatre in Nova Gorica.

Three male childhood friends are not quite so young anymore but cannot seem to grow up completely. When the aunt of one of them dies, she leaves him a small commercial proper- ty and the three friends immediately decide to open a pizzeria. In the beginning it seems as if this is another project doomed to fail. However, just in the nick of time, a mysterious woman comes along and offers to help. Another curious character seems to be the friends’ arch enemy but is ultimately transformed into their closest and most trusted friend. All the while, an intense family drama underlies the story and finally shakes it to its core. The impetus for the sudden plot twist is a 5-year-old girl, who one day decides to simply leave her parents… In the end, the missing and scattered pieces of the puzzle start to form an almost idyllic picture of their world. An archaeologist by education, Jan Cvitkovič (1961) is first and foremost a director, actor, writer and a poet. He has written and directed several award-winning features and shorts. He is also the cowriter of Idle Running, a Slovenian hit feature where he appeared in the lead role. The numerous awards under his belt include more than twenty domestic and international awards altogether for Idle Running, more than ten prizes for Gravehopping from different internationally acclaimed festivals, the Lion of the Future and several oth- ers for Bread and Milk… and most recently – the Audience Award at Cottbus FF 2015 for Šiška Deluxe. Jan is currently working on his fifth film Our Family, which starts shooting in summer 2016.

Family Film by Olmo Omerzu Družinski film, orig. Rodinný film, 2015, DCP, 1:1.85, in colour, 95 min

A husband and wife go sailing across the ocean, leaving their two children at home. The children’s seemingly careless life is disturbed by a sense of fear when they lose touch with their parents – their boat capsized and their dog went missing. The parents return home only to find out that their son needs a kidney transplant and, as it turns out, the husband is not the boy’s biological father. At the height of the crisis, we take our leave of the family and see a deserted island where the dog fights for survival. One day a ship appears on the horizon and the dog returns home. But where is home, actually? During his studies at the Famu (cz), Olmo Omerzu (1984) directed several short films and a 40-minute fiction The Second Act. It has been shown and received awards at several European festivals, and distributed in the Czech, Slovak and Slovenian cinemas.

And now he seems to be falling again for the same woman. When facing family hardships that endanger its peace, Nicole acts resolutely, but some- times insensitively. However, when Lucy is threatened by a mysterious unknown force, Nicole’s confidence begins to waver. Odd poltergeists suddenly show up in their isolated mountain house.

An entire generation of people in BiH who are now in their forties, lost their youth in war, yet the 2000s have offered neither freedom, successful jobs, nor the progress; as if the life has been placed ‘on hold’… The young war veteran Sasha tries to cope with the unsolved political situation and eco- nomic hardships of the postwar Bosnia, while his father Muhamed cannot give up his social beliefs in an increasingly corrupt society. Torn by the problems of the two men, the mother Maria falls ill – and her illness causes the family to bond again. When the problems started piling up, both Muhamed and Sasha realise that the only thing that matters is the family – the last oasis of a man.

Čap: Moments Of Decisions by Urban Arsenjuk Čap: trenutki odločitev, 2016, DCP, 16:9, in colour, 52 & 75 min

During his 31-year-long career František Čap, a Czech filmmaker working in Slovenia, made 32 films, became the youngest successful director in the world, received an award at the Venice festival, and won the Grand Prix at the first Cannes festival. Nevertheless he had to struggle against the ideologies that kept suffocating him: first against Nazism, then communism. When it already looked like he finally found his peace, he was forced to stand against envy, sanctimoniousness and concealed xenophobia. He ended up as a miserable filmmaker, exiled from the film world. Conceived around the time that Aldo Moro was kidnapped, born a month and three days before the treaty of friendship between the USSR and Afghanistan was signed. Today, after studying at the department of documentary film of the Famu (cz),Urban Arsenjuk is an independent director.

Home by Metod Pevec Dom, 2015, DCP, 1:1.85, in colour, 82 min

As a result of the privatization process, a five-storey building with three entrances, origi- nally built as a temporary workers home mainly for guest construction workers from Bos- nia, is now shared by nineteen owners. The men who live here, came to Slovenia as young lads and spent 30 years working on various construction sites throughout Slovenia. When the construction companies they worked for went bankrupt, they lost everything, and their bankrupt employers owed them lot of money. The first floor is occupied by adolescents who come from disturbed families and pre- fer the welfare youth home. A few tenants have found refuge here in this cheapest ac- commodation facility because they had been evicted from their former apartments. The house is large, but for most of its residents the accommodation here means that they have just a bed and not much else. Nobody calls it a home; they all thought it would be just a temporary solution, but sometimes this temporariness drags on endlessly. Besides social marginalization they have something else in common: stories.

Status Zero by Jani Sever Status zero, 2015, HD, 1:1.85, in colour, 75 min

The problems of the youngest unemployed in Slovenia. People from the edge, who fail to grad- uate from any schools and seem destined to remain unemployed for the rest of their lives. Boys, from 18 to 22 years old, and a sixteen-year-old girl represent the various profiles and at the same time characteristic types of the youngest unemployed. One of these un- employed has already been to prison due to violence; another one only managed to fin- ish the primary school before he started partying incessantly; and the third one comes from a well-situated but dysfunctional family. All three are registered at the Employment Service, and they are enrolled in the Project Learning for Young Adults programme. Simultaneously with their fates, the stories of the people they live and socialise with are revealed as well. The film focuses especially on their intimate crises and hopes. We also get to know how difficult it is for young adults to get jobs once they are unemployed, what the reasons for their problems are, and to what degree these problems are social and societal.

Partisan Priest by Bojan Labovič Križ in kladivo, 2015, bluray, 16:9, 67:48 min

A documentary drama based on the dramatic life story of the Slovenian priest and partisan Jože Lampret. All his life, this uncompromising fighter for justice and equality strived to reconcile the irreconcilable: Christian practices and international socialism. In the end, he was betrayed by both – not by the ideas, but by those who saw him as the enemy or merely as the means to get what they wanted. Partisan Priest is a story which indirectly reflects the present day. Bojan Labovič (1961) coincidentally found a chance to study film and TV creativity after working at a TV channel after his graduation from high school. He enrolled in the Selected Filmography Famu (cz) to study Documentary Film and Screenwriting, and graduated in 1990. He is (documentary, from 2010) the author of a series of documentary and live-action documentary films, TV series, TV Partisan Priest, 2015 programmes, and various stage productions.

Baron Codelli and the Legend of Tarzan by Miha Čelar Baron Codelli in legenda o Tarzanu, expected delivery: autumn 2016, HD, DCP, 16:9, cca 80 min

An exploratory live-action/documentary story about a little-known ‘film project’ by a re- nowned Slovenian inventor, Baron Anton Codelli. In the period between 1910 and 1915, Codelli erected telegraph transmitters in Togo in Af- rica, attempting to establish wireless communication between the German colonial Africa and Berlin as soon as in 1914. Codelli documented the African project with more than 800 documentary and staged photographs, while also supporting Hans Schomburg technically and financially, so that he could come to Togo and shoot a documentary. Apart from the documentary Codelli and Schomburg also made a silent live-action film The White God- dess of Wangora, written by the Baron’s mother, Rozalija Codelli. The film materials were allegedly confiscated during World War I. However, Schomburg never told Codelli that he changed the title of their film, added a few scenes in Germany, and released it under another name. Thus The White Goddess of the Wangora – the first live-action film written by a Slovenian screenwriter and produced by a Slovenian producer (and at the same time the first live-ac- tion film in the world shot in Africa) – was hidden within a silent film story Eine weisse unter Kannibalen (A White Woman Among Cannibals, 1921, Übersee-Film-GmbH). A copy is kept by Das Bundesarchiv, while Codelli’s unedited African materials are probably kept in the National Archives.

The City of Light by Marko Kumer Murč Mesto svetlobe, expeced delivery: autumn 2016, HD, in colour, 70 min

In the beginning there was a city. Then the city was illuminated by light, feeding on the greyish ore, hidden deep in the bowels of the earth. Years of coal extraction resulted in a large lake, which slowly devoured the surrounding homesteads and finally started en- croaching on the city itself. However, this did not stop those who planned for the future. They envisioned a new section of the power plant complex, the infamous BLOK6. This project soon became what the lake had been before it: an uncontrollable behemoth, beset by the shadows of economic injustice, ecological catastrophe and unfinished business.
