HAPPILY EVER AFTER [Šťastně až na věky]

SLOVENIAN PREMIERE
2022, 98', Czech Republic
Directed by: Jana Počtová

The film is an inquiry into contemporary forms of alternative models of partnerships. For many protagonists, polyamory, open marriage or long-term lover-to-lover relationships present a fulfilling life style, but also a struggle with misunderstanding of the society or conflicts within their own relationships. The director follows the development of relations of her protagonists over several years, while in intimate talks, she searches for the joy, striving and insecurities brought along by such unusual faces of love, revealing a need for redefining partnership in our times.

“Partnerships strongly influence our lives. As a filmmaker, I am interested in how our personal lives reflect the times, and also how our personal lives change the times,” says Jana Počtová.

MARIBOR RETROSK8TIVE
2023, 13', Slovenia
Directed by: Tomaž Praunseis, JP- Jaganath produkcija

The documented trace of the history of skateboarding in Maribor goes all the way back to the end of the 80s of the last century, when the first turns of the skateboarding scene in Maribor were made on Jakopičeva Street. Skateboarding gradually more and more intensively co-shaped and shaped the social guidelines of young people in the city, which filled the until then rather empty space of personal freedom, thought and expression. Persistence, will and, above all, love for life on a skateboard were the godfathers of the creation of the largest skateboarding training ground in Slovenia, which was created with the zeal and dedication of those who were among the first to skateboard. Today, the park is one of the most prominent and successfully operating centers of sports, culture and intergenerational integration in Maribor. This is a story about time and people who knew that it was necessary to "stand and exist" on wheels. The documentary is a development upgrade of the new and permanent exhibition "Sk8am tore sem" in the National Liberation Museum Maribor.
