    • About exhibition

      Matjaž Krivic’s photos were taken on a reporting assignment in Bolivia as part of the project Our Food. Our Future supported by the Focus Association for Sustainable Development. Over the last few years Bolivia has had the world’s third highest deforestation rate (after Brazil and the DRC) mainly due to the extensive cattle farming and soybean growing for livestock feed. In Bolivia, author of the accompanying text, Delo journalist Maja Prijatelj Videmšek, met with a number of representatives of different interest groups, livestock farmers, timber traders, indigenous groups, forest guardians and decision-makers. 
      Matjaž Krivic is the recipient of the prestigious 2022 Travel Photographer Award. 

      The full exhibition will be on view this April in Ljubljana’s Congress Square.

    Dialogues on Slovenian Documentary Film

    Round table
    SAT, 11 March 2023 , at 11.00
    Lili Novy Glass Hall, admission free
    • More about round table

      Since the turn of the century, documentary film has enjoyed a revival as a result of digitisation and a surge in online providers. This type of filmmaking has won worldwide popularity in cinemas and on TV screens, its forms today ranging from more demanding art films to commercial feature films for a wider audience. Has this upsurge also occurred in Slovenia? A panel of four documentary filmmakers – Maja Weiss, Majda Širca, Petra Seliškar and Marija Zidar – will share their experiences. What were the greatest difficulties they encountered throughout their careers and what are the future challenges facing Slovenian documentary film? 

      The talk will be hosted by Matic Majcen, co-editor of a theme issue of Dialogi.

      Mag. Lia Bordon je ženska s transspolno izkušnjo. Pri rojstvu so ji pripisali moški spol, jo kot moškega vzgajali, čeprav se je že v otroštvu zavedala, da bi se morala roditi kot deklica. V privzgojeni moški vlogi si je ustvarila bogato poklicno pot, dom in družino, pri 42 letih pa se je odločila končno zaživeti tako, kot bi morala že od rojstva – kot ženska. Vstopila je v mučen proces tranzicije in potrditev spola ob tveganju, da kot večina transspolnih oseb izgubi vse. Njena starša je (še) niste zmogla sprejeti, zato se je z ženo in otrokoma preselila v drug kraj ter si ustvarila novo življenje z novimi ljudmi. Danes kot osebna kovčinja, psihoterapevtka, predavateljica in zagovornica transspolnih oseb pomaga tistim, ki trčijo v sorodne, na videz nepremostljive izzive življenja.

      The talk will address the importance of safe places for trans people and various sexual and gender minorities. Authentic cinematic representations of social minorities can provide empowerment and solace but also help prevent the unnecessary perpetuation of stereotypical images. Slovenian trans filmmakers will discuss whether the film Casa Susanna provides authentic solace and a legitimate representation of transgender people, and ponder on best possible cinematic and narrative representations of trans stories and communities.
