First reactions to "Američanke" |
On Tuesday, October 18, 2005 documentary film Američanke (American - Slovenian Women) was shown on RTV Slovenia Channel 1. In the days leading to and since the showing, many of our branch members have heard from friends and/or relatives in Slovenia who had either seen the trailers or the film and recognized their names and faces. We also received emails from viewers in Slovenia who had for the first time heard of SWUA. We are all anxiously awaiting the upcoming screening and Mirjam’s lecture in November in New York.
The following is a translation of a description from RTV Slovenija:
AMERIČANKE (American
- Slovenian Women), documentary of the month, Tuesday, October 18, 2005 at 9pm on RTV Slo - Script by Mirjam Hladnik Milharčič, directed by Hanna A.W. Slak, production of Rebel LLC and TV Slovenija
This film portrays Slovenian emigrants and Slovenian identity in the United States of America through open and intimate voices of women of different generations of Slovenian Emigrant Communities, who consider themselves “100% American.” What is Slovenian identity – potica, polka, childhood memories, grandmother’s songs, knowing the language, a conscious decision or something else, impossible to put into words? | |
