The panel discussion On News at the closing of the exhibition The News Belongs to Us by Nika Autor, featuring speakers Zdenka Badovinac (Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova), Ciril Oberstar (ZRC Publishing, Dialogi Journal, Ekran, Magazine for Film and Television), and Andrej Šprah (Slovenian Cinematheque, Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT)), moderated by the exhibition's curator Andreja Hribernik, supported by the Slovenian Culture and Information Centre, Vienna (SKICA) (Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Vienna),
Despite the fact that Ekran was not the first Slovene film magazine after the second world war (before it the Film gazette and Film magazine were published) at the time it was established writing about cinema was at its beginning. That's why the young team of cinefiles (V. Musek, T. Tršar, B. Šomen) that in 1962 took over the new film magazine had to lean on translated text mostly to introduce Slovene readers to the then current situation in world cinema. On the other hand they were among the first to promote new tendencies in the Yugoslav cinema of that time, influenced by the European new waves, mostly the so called black film (B. Hladnik, J. Pogačnik and Ž. Pavlović in Slovenia, A. Patrović, D. Makavejev and Ž. Žilnik in other parts of former Yugoslavia) - on the home front and internationaly.
When in 196In the 1950s the main (and only) Slovene film magazine was Film.
Ekran covers a range of contemporary cinema subjects and auteur film. Through its pages in the 1960s and 1970s Slovene film critics and essayists (Hladnik, Petrovič, Pavlovič, Klopčič, Makavejev) promoted the Yugoslav black wave films. During the 1980s, modern French film theory (Comolli, Bonitzer, Chion, Deleuze, etc.) took root and influenced Ekran critics, and the later Lacanian 'Ljubljana film school' (Slavoj Žižek, Zdenko Vrdlovec, Stojan Pelko) used Ekran for its platform.
Lately Ekran has been focusing on film production and film artists which work beyond the mainstream, world and independent cinema, reporting from film festivals and monitoring the Slovene film scene. Following the 'renovation' of Ekran in March 2006 the magazine introduced some new content, began publishing in colour (after 44 years of black&white) and invited some new film publicists to work with its editorial team; several foreign contributors also joined as supporting editors.
Ekran's other activities include the Autumn Film School, International Colloquium of Film Theory, and the Ekran 'Nursery' School of the Gaze that was launched in Winter 2006, offering screenings, lectures and discussions for young film critics.
