MELANIA

WORLD PREVIEW
2023, 50', Slovenia
Directed by: Jurij Gruden

Melania Trump is one of the most controversial First Ladies in the history. Born and raised in Slovenia in a time of socialism, she brought a different attitude to the job as America’s First Lady. Fiercely ambitious, Melania grew up in a working-class family with a mother working in a textile factory, and against all odds Melania took the world by storm and managed to create an unexpected life and career for herself - and she never looked back! Today, Melania Trump divides Slovenia; some adore her, put her on a pedestal and some have a hard time accepting her lack of interest in her hometown and country. This is a unique story about Melania Trump, the country, and the people she left behind.

THE BOX
MARIBOR PREMIERE
2023, 22', Slovenia
Directed by: Tomaž Pavkovič
(winning film of FeKK SLO 2023)

The sixties and the seventies of the 20th century in our former country, a country that ceased to be. A young family moves from a rural environment to a small Slovenian town, where factories are being built and the need for a workforce is increasing. The brothers are growing up in that shaky but magical in-between, soaked in the everyday rhythms of the community, infused with the ideology of the time. Than it happens: the sudden spectrum of film; the mystique of time itself.
