Flashbacks from the Third Symposium at the House of Film 2024
Between May 6 and 8, 2024, the 3rd symposium East/West: Borders Through Film and History took place at the House of Film in Gorica. In this edition, a diverse array of lecturers and authors focused on the significance of local film cultures and cross-border film practices, as well as the role of cross-border television co-created by Radiotelevizija Slovenija and Rai Friuli-Venezia Giulia. One of the highlights of the event occurred on the second day of the symposium, where attendees had the opportunity to preview the digitally restored film Red Boogie (1982) in the presence of director Karpo Godina.
We extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us and contributed to shaping this narrative.

Technical report on the digitalization of the Aljoša Žerjal fund "No to bilingualism"
11. 04. 2024The corpus contained in the famous box called "No to bilingualism" is placed in the wider context of the rich amateur film production of Aljoša Žerjal. Digitization of the remaining parts of the collection in the future would be extremely beneficial for further understanding of the footage that was processed at this stage. In fact, much remains to be discovered in order to be able to answer all the questions that arise regarding this corpus and to be able to understand the purpose for which this material was actually recorded.
