Vzhod Oriente / Zahod Occidente

 

Vzhod Oriente / Zahod Occidente — Border cinema

Through the lens of the retrospective East / West, in 2025, the cinematography of Slovenia and Italy will get the chance to shine bright. This film journey, created with more than thirty partners, revives the rich cultural and historical heritage of the cross-border area. Through selected film works, from feature films to documentaries and newsreels, it embodies Europe's multicultural experience. Pannels with historians and experts, who initiated the project through three extensive symposiums, deepen the understanding and prepare the European audience for a journey through time and space.
