EVENTS 2023
LJUBLJANA
Critique Workshop: Silence Heard Loud from Anna Konik and No Dogs or Italians Allowed from Alain Ughetto
The workshop will take place in the afternoons, during the festival, June 19th – 22th in Slovenian Cinematheque or Kinodvor.
The participants will reflect upon what they have seen. We will discuss the specifics of the documentary film, touching the issue of migration, as well as different approaches to the matter. The discussions will be mentored and supervised by the film critic Petra Meterc, Association of Slovenian Film Critics FIPRESCI, who will also be assisting the participants in editing shorts texts. The workshops will offer a space of reflection to those who might wish to immerse themselves in the films through writing. The resulting writings will be the end product of the workshops, subsequently published on the festival web page.
This year’s workshops will focus on Anna Konik’s Silence Heard Loud, a film that reflects on the image of today’s migration from the viewpoint of seven individuals from six different countries, and Alain Ughetta’s film No dogs or Italians allowed, animation addressing the history of migration in Europe represented through a story of his family history. We will search for parallels between films and reflect upon what it is that makes the experience of migration then and now similar.
There is no participation fee; please send your applications to filmskedelavnice.FMF@gmail.com by June 15th.
