International Film Festivals in Slovenia
updated 19 hours ago
International festivals share at least one thing in common, regardless of how different they are or how diverse the groups they target. Whatever their audience, they are designed and organised to create, in a specific place and at a specific time, a community to which they offer meaningful content, while also fostering inclusion and the well-being of every participant. These are spaces that enable shared moments between different people and ideas – spaces of coexistence and (inter)cultural exchange.
The same applies to film festivals, whether aimed primarily at film audiences or industry professionals, whether their programmes focus mainly on curated selections or competitive strands and whether they prioritise marketing, training or audience development. What role, then, do the most prominent film festivals in Slovenia play? Whom do they bring together and what kinds of communities do they create?

Umetniške rezidence v Sloveniji: izkušnje, izzivi in priložnosti
updated 27 hours ago
Umetniški rezidenčni programi so skozi čas igrali pomembno vlogo pri omogočanju prepotrebne mednarodne mobilnosti umetnikov, njihovi profesionalizaciji in povezovanju. V zadnjih desetletjih so se močno razmahnili in postali sestavni del sodobnega kulturnega ekosistema. Ponudba programov, ki umetnikom omogočajo čas in prostor za raziskovanje, produkcijo ali mreženje na različne načine, je zelo pestra – ne le v svetovnem merilu, temveč tudi znotraj nacionalnega konteksta. Da bi povezala različne izvajalce rezidenčnih programov v Sloveniji, je Motovila februarja 2026 v Centru Rog organizirala srečanje, na katerem so izmenjali svoje izkušnje. Kdo so izvajalci, kako oblikujejo svoje programe v koraku s sodobnimi trendi in s kakšnimi izzivi se pri tem soočajo?
Arts Residencies in Slovenia: Experiences, Challenges, and Opportunities
updated 27 hours ago
Artist-in-residence (AiR) programmes have long played an important role in facilitating the much-needed international mobility of artists, their professional development, and collaboration. Over recent decades, they have burgeoned into an integral part of the contemporary cultural ecosystem. Programmes offering artists time and space for research, production, or networking are remarkably diverse – not only globally, but also within the national context. To connect the various organisers of AiR programmes in Slovenia, Motovila organised a meeting at Center Rog in February 2026, where participants shared their experiences. Who are the organisers, how are they keeping their programmes in step with contemporary trends, and what challenges are they facing in the process?
Ustvarjalna Evropa v Sloveniji: Gledališče Glej kot prostor za eksperiment, participativne prakse in avtorsko ustvarjanje mladih
updated 27 hours ago
V zaključnem obdobju Ustvarjalne Evrope (2021–2027) in v času, ko se na evropski ravni oblikuje nov program financiranja za kulturne in ustvarjalne sektorje, AgoraEU, je pravi trenutek, da se ozremo nazaj na izkušnje, dosežke in premike, ki jih je mednarodno sodelovanje v evropskih projektih omogočilo slovenskim organizacijam. Ambasadorji Ustvarjalne Evrope, ki prihajajo iz različnih organizacij in ustvarjalnih sektorjev, vendar jim je skupno aktivno udejstvovanje v mednarodnem prostoru, so z nami delili svoje bogate izkušnje in poglede. Raznoliki prispevki osvetljujejo specifične poti organizacij, hkrati pa razodevajo globlje vpoglede v razvoj umetniških praks, institucionalnih modelov in kulturnega ekosistema v Sloveniji.
Z Barbaro Poček in Ingo Remeta smo se pogovarjali o Gledališču Glej kot prostoru za eksperiment, participativne in avtorske prakse z mladimi ter o tem, kako so evropski projekti vplivali na njegovo umetniško, produkcijsko in strateško usmeritev in razvoj. Vabljeni k branju, zapise drugih ambasadorjev pa lahko preberete tukaj.
