A RESTROSPECTIVE OF SLOVENE CINEMA (WITH EMPHASIS ON FILMS FROM THE 90'S ON)

 

The exhibition of promo posters from the year 1948 till today offers a brief, but colourful insight into Slovene cinematography; from the first Slovene feature fiction film, the first romantic comedies, World War II films, through socialism, new wave cinema, teen films, road movies, outsiders, animation, porn flicks, nostalgia, fatalism and naturalism, heroin and human trafficking, all the way to the grave,

 

The films have been selected according to various criteria, the first being, of course, the availability of the posters. The next were the film's importance or success, and last but not least, the poster itself. This criterion has been especially employed with some of the older films up to 1980, when the visual side of the promo posters was given quite more attention than perhaps today.

 

The exhibition was kindly made possible by Slovenska kinoteka.
