“Cinema Beyond Borders: Slovene Films in a World Context,” Meta Mazaj and Shekhar Deshpande, in A Companion to Eastern European Cinema, Ed. Aniko Imre (Blackwell, 2012), 148-166.
Given our commitment to global learning, we focused on cinema in Slovenia in fall 2007-spring 2008. Distinct in its narrative and aesthetic preoccupations, cinema in Slovenia has enjoyed resurgence in the past decade. It attests to the vibrancy of creative culture in that country as well as true diversity of cinema as a world medium.
The project involved visit by film maker Jan Cvitkovič and critic Denis Valič, close study of Slovene films and a series of related activities on campus. We collaborated with Cinema Studies at University of Pennsylvania and Slovene Film Fund on this project.
Select reviews completed by students from the Department of Media and Communication at Arcadia University and Cinema Studies at University of Pennsylvania on Slovene Cinema, along with essays by scholars and historians on Slovene cinema will be published on a web site early this fall.
