The Summer of ’91 Poletje ’91

Žiga Virc / Slovenia / 2021 / 72 min / Slovene

An archival documentary by Žiga Virc (Houston, We Have a Problem!) that gives a fresh and unbiased insight into the everyday life of people in Slovenia at the crossroads of history. The product of an extensive campaign in which people were invited to send in their home videos, the film acts as an audio-visual time machine that takes viewers to the chaotic period before, during and after Slovenia’s independence.

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.
