Slovenian Film Series - Screening of Šelestenje (Rustling Landscapes)

Our big event for the spring is a Slovenian film series to be held on Saturdays at 1:30 p.m. All of the selected films have Slovenian dialogue along with English sub-titles.

We kicked off the series with a screening of Šelestenje (Rustling Landscapes) on Saturday, March 31. Some found the film moved slowly with a lot of dialogue. Others liked the film very much, "even if the story was typically anti-uplifting." In either case, this film (and the series in general) gives us a great opportunity to hear the Slovenian language and experience a range of different films made in Slovenia with a Slovenian cast and crew. In Šelestenje we had a chance to enjoy some beautiful scenes filmed in Bela Krajina, where most of the movie takes place.

Many thanks to Vesna for arranging and hosting the series. Also, thanks to the Slovenian Consulate in NYC for the films!
