In his highly prolific career, Žilnik has made over 50 feature and short films, which have been exhibited internationally at film festivals including Berlin, Toronto, Rotterdam, Moscow and Oberhausen. From the late 60s, his socially engaged films in former Yugoslavia earned him accolades, but also censorship in the 70s and the 90s for his unflinching criticism of the government apparatus. His power to observe and unleash compelling narratives out of the lives of ordinary people is the common thread throughout his work.

Christian Gamst Miller-Harris
lecture
Wednesday / Aug 17 / 11:00am–12:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21What qualities make an idea for a short film good? How to write a script that delivers the promised premise yet also expresses the author's concept? Which approaches to the theme, characters, structure and writing are useful when developing and producing a short? How can an individual convey something grand and relevant when preyed upon by numerous dangers? Who else to better answer all these questions but the hard-bitten screenwriter Christian Gamst Miller-Harris. As he guides us through the narrative forests with a good measure of anecdotes and memories, revealing those moments when things in the script clicked as well as those he'd rather forget. Our first guest will be, as he puts it himself, honest, direct and probably a bit self-deprecatory. He'll show us some videos and you'll ask some questions. Come by!

It is held in Poznan, one of the oldest Polish cities and is both inclusive and accessible. This year it has realised its fourteenth edition. Short Waves serves unconventional selections, such as comedies, horror films and a geographically-focused programme and displays a high degree of environmental care. What goes on at the festival will be revealed by no other than the Short Waves Head of Programming Aleksandra Ławska, who promises to answer any questions you might have. Don't miss out!

Sunčica Ana Veldić
lecture
Thursday / Aug 18 / 11:00am–12:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21The identification with onscreen characters is the main tool of the film narrative that captures the audience. But how do we identify with non-human characters, such as animals, nature, objects or even concepts? In order to gain the favour of the audience, filmmakers in such cases most often use anthropomorphism. It is because people deem humanoid traits familiar and as thus most deserving of empathy. The film director and vet Sunčica Ana Veldić will talk about alternatives that can spark an interest in non-human protagonists without giving them human characteristics. Are such bypasses even possible or are they all founded on a certain measure of anthropomorphism?

round table
Friday, Aug 19 / 1:00pm–2:30pm
Inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21Film festival programmes frequently aim to address the overlooked topics, to include minorities and generally to brighten the places lacking in light. What remains hidden and invisible at film festivals? Who makes films on minorities? What is an inclusive film festival and what does it do? Whose views are we seeing and whose do we wish to see? How to get organised and connected in rural areas? What can a festival do to attract a local audience apart from film professionals? Who are the invisible protagonists and how to hand them the mic?
