Med sličicami: slovenski animirani film v letu 2025
updated 27 hours ago
V zadnjih letih je na polju animiranega filma v Sloveniji prišlo do pomembnih korakov, ne le v smeri izboljšanja sektorja ampak tudi k njegovi profesionalizaciji. Nekoč nišna ali osamljena umetniška prizadevanja so zrasla v živahen, multidisciplinaren sektor, ki obsega kino, vizualne umetnosti, oblikovanje in pripovedovanje zgodb – in je mednarodno vse bolj viden. Leto 2025 označuje preobrat za slovensko animacijo, ker so občudovanja vredni dosežki pokazali, kaj je mogoče, kljub vztrajnim strukturnim vrzelim, ki nas opominjajo, kako dolgo pot še imamo pred seboj. V tem prispevku si bomo ogledali dosežke in raziskali, kako premostiti te vrzeli.
Tweening the Scene

In recent years, the field of animated film in Slovenia has taken significant steps not only towards improving the sector but also towards professionalisation. What was once seen as a niche or isolated artistic endeavour has grown into a lively, multidisciplinary sector spanning cinema, visual arts, design and storytelling – with increasingly strong international visibility. The year 2025 marks a pivotal moment for Slovenian animation, as celebratory achievements have illuminated what is possible, despite the persistent structural gaps that seem to remind us how far there still is to go. In this article, we’ll take a look at those achievements and explore ways to bridge the gaps.
In Memoriam Prof. Peter Hafner Festival
updated 2 days ago
The In Memoriam Prof. Peter Hafner Festival was first organised under this name in 2009, as a successor of sorts to the "Alter-Fest" that first appeared in 2005 at the Rdeča ostriga Club. In the beginning, Alter-Fest took place for only one evening and its line-up more or less consisted of punk bands. In the years to come, the festival widened its musical scope, forming a more varied and well-recognised programme. This development was partly due to the guidance of and help from Peter Hafner, a local music enthusiast, DJ, cultural activist, and mathematics professor, who unfortunately passed away in 2009. Thus, Alter-Fest got a new name.

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.
Slovenski kulturni center Berlin (SKICA Berlin): med kulturno diplomacijo in mednarodnim povezovanjem
updated 2 days ago
Slovenska kulturna centra (oziroma SKICI) na Dunaju in v Berlinu v letu 2026 praznujeta vsak svojo obletnico. SKICA Dunaj je bila ustanovljena leta 2011, torej deluje že 15 let. Pet let pozneje je bila v Nemčiji ustanovljena še SKICA Berlin, ki letos obhaja svoje prvo desetletje. Oba centra sta kot skupni projekt Ministrstva za kulturo ter Zunanjega ministrstva Republike Slovenije izrednega pomena za promocijo in prepoznavnost sodobne slovenske umetnosti in kulture v tujini.
Projekti in sodelovanja, v katerih je udeležena berlinska SKICA, so zares raznoliki: od sodelovanja na knjižnem sejmu v Frankfurtu, na katerem je bila Slovenija leta 2023 častna gostja, do razstave o slovenski čebelarski kulturni dediščini v berlinskem Museum Europäischer Kulturen ali razstave »Po impresionizmu: slovensko modernistično slikarstvo in Dachau« v Gemäldegalerie Dachau. Prav v času, ko je nastajal ta pogovor, je SKICA skupaj s Centrom za kreativnost (CzK) in Inštitutom LJFW pripravila tudi pop-up predstavitev slovenskih modnih oblikovalk in oblikovalcev v okviru Berlinskega tedna mode.
Pogovarjali smo se s Sašo Šavel Burkart, diplomirano novinarko in magistrico znanosti s področja antropologije in medijskih študijev, ki je vodenje berlinske SKICE prevzela januarja 2021. Sogovornica je predstavila delovanje centra in nekatere njegove najvidnejše dosežke, obenem pa spregovorila o ključnih praksah za uspešno promocijo umetnosti in kulture v mednarodnem prostoru ter razmišljala o ukrepih, ki bi bili potrebni za dolgoročni razvoj slovenske kulturne diplomacije.
The Slovenian Cultural Centre in Berlin (SKICA Berlin): Bridging Cultural Diplomacy and International Connections
updated 2 days ago
In 2026, the Slovenian Cultural Centres (SKICA) in Vienna and Berlin each celebrate a significant milestone. Established in 2011, SKICA Vienna marks fifteen years of activity, while SKICA Berlin, founded five years later, celebrates its first decade. Created as a joint initiative of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, the two centres play a vital role in promoting contemporary Slovenian art and culture internationally.
The projects and partnerships developed by SKICA Berlin are strikingly diverse. They range from cooperating at the Slovenia’s appearance as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2023, to an exhibition on Slovenia’s beekeeping heritage at Berlin’s Museum of European Cultures, and an exhibition Beyond Impressionism – Slovenian Modernism and Dachau at the Dachau Art Gallery. At the time this interview was conducted, SKICA was also presenting, together with the Centre for Creativity and the LJFW Institute, a pop-up showcase of Slovenian fashion designers during Berlin Fashion Week.
We spoke with Saša Šavel Burkart, MSC, who is the Head of SKICA Berlin since January 2021. She reflects on the centre’s work and some of its most significant achievements, discusses the approaches that underpin the successful international promotion of Slovenian art and culture, and considers the measures needed to support the long-term development of Slovenian cultural diplomacy.
