Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica
updated 11 hours ago
Originally established in 1955 as Gorica City Theatre and upon going professional, changing its name in 1969 to Primorsko dramsko gledališče, the Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica is one of the youngest professional theatres in Slovenia. It became one of the three state-owned theatres in 2003 (see also Slovenian National Theatre Drama Ljubljana and Slovene National Theatre Maribor). Its geographic position – situated at the junction of the Slovenian and Italian cultures – has exerted a substantial influence on the role and orientation of the theatre.
Designed by award-winning architect Vojteh Ravnikar and featuring a fully-equipped 360-seat hall, the SNG Nova Gorica building remains to date the only new theatre built in Slovenia in the second half of the 20th Century. The new Small Stage (108 seats) was opened in 2011.

Mednarodni filmski festivali v Sloveniji
updated 14 hours ago
Naj si bodo še tako različni in naj bodo namenjeni še tako raznovrstnim skupinam, imajo mednarodni festivali vsaj en skupni imenovalec. Ne glede na ciljno publiko so oblikovani in izvedeni tako, da na določnem prostoru in v določenem času ustvarijo skupnost, ki ji prinašajo zaželene vsebine, ter poskrbijo za vključenost in dobro počutje vsakega člana. To so prostori, ki omogočajo skupne trenutke različnih ljudi in idej, prostori sobivanja in (med)kulturne izmenjave.
Nič drugače ni pri filmskih festivalih, pa naj bodo namenjeni predvsem filmskim gledalcem ali profesionalcem iz industrije, naj kot vsebine ponujajo predvsem kurirane izbore ali tekmovalne programe, naj v ospredje postavljajo trženje, usposabljanje ali razvoj občinstev. Kakšna je vloga najvidnejših filmskih festivalov v Sloveniji? Koga združujejo in kakšne skupnosti ustvarjajo?
Tlakovanje poti za zeleno animacijo in soustvarjanje
updated 15 hours ago
Nedavna konferenca CEE Animation GO! 2025, ki sta jo marca 2025 organizirala CEE Animation in Slovensko združenje za animirani film v sodelovanju z Animar_BCN European Animation Convention (PROA-ProAnimats) in Animation in Europe, je pomemben trenutek za industrijo animacije v Srednji in Vzhodni Evropi. Konference se je udeležilo več kot 100 strokovnjakov – predstavnikov filmskih skladov, asociacij za animirani film in producentov animiranih filmov iz približno 20 evropskih držav, ki so razpravljali o dveh osrednjih temah: trajnosti v animaciji in vzpostavitvi mednarodnega mehanizma za soustvarjanje. Dogodek so podprli Slovenski filmski center, AIPA – Zavod za uveljavljanje pravic avtorjev, izvajalcev in producentov avdiovizualnih del v Sloveniji, Ustvarjalna Evropa MEDIA in Ministrstvo za javno upravo Republike Slovenije.
Konferenca, del uradnega programa Evropske prestolnice kulture GO! 2025, se je odvila v slikovitih Goriških brdih, kjer je kombinacija naravne lepote in vrhunskih kapacitet v Vili Vipolže zagotovila izjemno ozadje za dialog in ustvarjalno izmenjavo – to je še poudarilo povezavo med kulturno dediščino in sodobnimi inovacijami.
Zelene poti v Slovenijo
updated 15 hours ago
Kulturni in ustvarjalni sektorji v marsičem že prednjačijo drugim panogam po zelenih oziroma trajnostnih praksah – ne le zaradi skromnih ali omejenih sredstev, temveč tudi zaradi občutljivosti za družbene izzive in etične razmisleke. Umetniki in kulturni delavci delujejo nepotratno in prilagodljivo, navajeni so delati več z manj, vire souporabljajo ali jih uporabijo večkrat. A vse opaznejše podnebne spremembe nas vabijo h globljemu premisleku o svoji organiziranosti in delovanju. Eden najpomembnejših, najnujnejših vidikov delovanja umetnikov in kulturnih delavcev, ki hkrati pušča največji okoljski odtis, je mobilnost.
