SLOVENIAN FILM CENTRE SLOVENIAN FILM GUIDE 2012 FEATURES 3 Bread and Circuses

directed by Klemen Dvornik

Kruha in iger _ feature 2011 / super 16 mm/35 mm, 1:1.85, Dolby 5.1, in colour, 94 min

Family Novak from provincial Velenje is drawn by lot to appear on TV in a family quiz show. The mother and the daughter are thrilled, whereas the father and the son do not like the idea that much because the show takes place during a carnival. On their way to the show, they have an encounter with the police, which is a result of a misunderstanding. At the TV station, they get distracted and confused by a group of masquer- aders, but things become truly interesting when the family gets to know the quiz moderator Jos Bauer better. Everything about the TV station seems quite different from up close and the en- tire family’s values are turned upside down.

Bread and Circuses is a comedy with a sent of nostalgia about socialist Yugoslavia’s last breaths, when people were looking forward to a much brighter future than their reality ap- pears to be at present. – Klemen Dvornik

directed by Jan Cvitkovič

Arheo _feature, 2011 / 35 mm; 1:1.85, 25 fps, Dolby SR-D, in colour, 80 min

Man, Woman and Boy. Three individuals in a timeless landscape. They do not know each other, their cultural background is undefined. They try to survive individually. However, every so often their paths cross and gradu- ally they establish contact, although initially utterly mistrusting and occasionally hostile. Little by little, through various situations, they start developing relationships. Arche-man, arche-woman and arche-boy even­ tually get rid of fear, hostility, insecurity and join in an arche-community we call a family. An arche-film about an arche-family. Premiere: 14 Slovenian Film Festival, October 2011.

The situations in which the three protagonists appear and meet derive almost exclusively from my subconscious; therefore – in some sense – they are probably archetypal. Essentially, the film focuses on the formation of a basic human, social and intimate family cell. – Jan Cvitkovič

A tragicomic story about unusual people in a remote village in Prekmurje in the time of socialism, when rock'n'roll emerged and The Rolling Stones changed the world. Breza, a young country fellow wants to perform at public festivities, playing his electric .

Silvija is the daughter of a wealthy migrant who lives in Switzerland, and who sent his daughter back home to find a suitable and well-off husband. This, however, is just the beginning of the story in which the real pro- tagonist is a weird newcomer from the land of citrus fruit, Düplin.

This is a very good, sweet and sour film story Djurić wove from diverse characters, comical ideas and imaginative details based on the book by Feri Lainšček and the result is a rich world of film comedy that basically tells a very lifelike and tragic story. – Goran Vojnović, di- rector, screenwriter, Dnevnik

directed by Metod Pevec

Lahko noč, gospodična _feature, 2011 / 35 mm, Scope (1:2.35), Dolby Digital SR-D, in colour, 97 min

Hannah and Sam are still young; they have a house, a wonderful daughter and interest- ing and well-paid work. He is successful and resolute, while she is a slightly hypersensitive dreamer. However, their polite and comfort- able family routine starts cracking because of lies, lack of trust and jealousy. When Hannah finds out that Sam has an affair with a young female colleague, she does not attempt to save her marriage, but instead packs her suitcase and goes back to her mother. It seems that a reunion with an old fling from her student years will help her to move on, but her charm- ing Leo is even more prone to infidelity. How- ever, despite her bad luck with men, Hannah makes a choice and is relieved and quite con- tent in the end. Slovenian Premiere: September 29, 2011.

A graffito has adorned a certain wall in Lju- bljana for a long time: what do you expect of sex after marriage? I believe many married couples are capable of having a great sex life, but fail to nurture their emotional relationship and preserve at least the basic semblance of love, in the name of which they once said their vows. A woman, believing in love as the foun- dation of a clean, fair relationship, is bound to be disappointed. Or, isn't she? – Metod Pevec
