story
Honey, a shy 13-year-old, hides the truth about herself and her chaotic family, struggling to reveal her true self in her new class. She loves playing music – and is really talented – but no one knows that yet. All Honey wants is a spot in Liam's band, "Rock Till We Drop". So, when she discovers that her supposedly dead, music-loving grandfather Marcel might actually be alive, she sets out to find him. Perhaps he's exactly what she needs to finally learn to stand up for herself.

“Children are a fantastic target group. They’re more open than adults to offbeat storytelling. Children just get up and leave whenever they get tired of something. I like that a lot. It’s a gut reaction – instead of being overly logical about how they ought to react.” - Natasha Arthy

Slovenia’s economy relies on workers from Kosovo. But how does society accept their children? The documentary New Classmates explores the background of Kosovar immigration and the challenges their children face integrating into a new country. It highlights the stories of four children of immigrant families and their parents, who face various obstacles due to their ethnic background and limited knowledge of the Slovenian language.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!
Igor Bezinović
Wednesday, 22. 10. 2025 / 17:30 / Small Hall
On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
