Presentation and discussion
Thursday / Aug 19 / 11:00am–12:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21A rapid succession of changes has drastically reshaped the domain of preserving and exhibiting cinema in the 21st century. Film production, exhibition, restoration, and reflection are today predominantly digital affairs. Other forms of art and entertainment have taken centre stage in collective dreams and discussions. Principles of curatorship have clashed with the idea of access. Streaming became the central way of experiencing moving images, and private space has trumped public space as the primary site of these experiences. Above all, the realities of the Anthropocene compel us to think about every human activity in a wider context: what is the carbon footprint of a 35mm film print, or of an international jury member, that I have invited to judge this print?

Meeting
Thursday / Aug 19 / 1:00pm–2:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21The Initiative of Film Festivals by Nongovernment Organisations was formed in November 2016 as an informal association of thirteen societies and private institutes from across Slovenia that organise international film festivals. Their festival programs are dedicated to an assortment of film genres and disciplines and attract audiences of all generations and interests. They all commonly strive for the development of cinematic arts and public presentation of such high-quality films that would otherwise not be screened at Slovene cinemas. Additionally, the members of the Initiative share financial and organisational problems, which they daily face, and recognise that drastic changes are to be made for long-term development of their field of work.

Stefan Kruse Jørgensen, filmmaker and visual artist
Presentation and discussion
Friday / Aug 20 / 11:00am–12:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21Stefan Kruse Jørgensen will talk in-depth about his two latest film projects The Migrating Image (2018) and A Lack Of Clarity (2020). As both films take their cue from found footage material, Stefan will reflect upon image making and appropriation in the 21st century and how it became part of his artistic practice. With an equal interest in both the images that flood the 24-hour news cycle and the shadow streams and infrastructures connected to the military industry complex, Stefan will dive into topics of fear, consciousness, dreams, and how they shape his projects.

A case study presentation
Friday, Aug 20 / 1:00pm–2:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21THIS IS SHORT is the new online portal of the European Short Film Network (ESFN). The ESFN currently consists of four festivals: Go Short – International Short Film Festival Nijmegen (NL), International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (DE), Vienna Shorts – International Short Film Festival (AT) and Short Waves Festival (PL). In this collaborative project, the four festivals created a central access point for mainly European short films, with shared programs and one common gateway to the online presentations of the four European film festivals, thus creating a joint online festival experience. The first edition of THIS IS SHORT was launched on 1 April and was active until 30 June 2021. By hearing the case study, you can learn more about new strategies on programming and audience development.

Screenwriting Workshop
Aug 16–18: FeKK
September: Isola Cinema
October: Festival of Slovenian FilmShort Scene is an excellent opportunity to test and advance your screenwriting skills, which can concurrently also connect you with other members of the film community and experts who share their experience with the attendees. At the workshop, we are going to learn about screenwriting theory and practice and develop a short film script through group work and individual work with the mentor. Similarly important, we are also going to learn how to prepare for a project pitch.
This year's mentor is Pavel Marek, FeKK’s returning guest. Marek studied at the National Film and Television School in the UK between 1992 and 1993. In 1998, he concluded his studies at the Department of Directing at FAMU in Prague. During his studies, he directed several short films in production with Bulsitfilm Independent Film Association. His films, rooted in dreams and subconscious experiences, placed him among surrealistic directors of the time. In 1998, his feature film Dead Beetle was premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival. Later he concentrated mostly on documentaries. Currently, he is a professor at the Department of Directing at FAMU and FAMU International. Since 2011, he is the mentor of the established screenwriting workshop MIDPOINT.
