ABOUT

Milena Miklavčič is the author of an extraordinary collection entitled Ogenj, rit in kače, niso za igrače (Fire, Ass and Snakes are not Toys), which belongs to the category of Citizen Science.
On around 1,700 pages, she has published thousands of stories about intimacy, relationships and family life that her interviewees have entrusted to her over a period of 40 years. Although the collection was self-published, it is one of the best-selling books in Slovenia. Based on some of these stories, Urška Djukić's short film BABIČINO SEKSUALNO ŽIVLJENJE (GRANNY'S SEXUAL LIFE) was awarded the French Caesar and the European Oscar for Best Short Film in Reykjavik in 2013. This short film was also shown at the International Short Film Week Regensburg in 2022 and is part of the film program 'Current Highlights from Slovenia' (see page XX). The author will also read out the short story that inspired the film. The film will then be shown, followed by a discussion with her about the book and the film.

A Wall

is a Screen

The cat's howl conquers the urban space! It wanders through early-night alleys, meows from abandoned street corners, and climbs up building facades because: A WALL IS A SCREEN is coming back to Regensburg. The artist group from Hamburg has been offering special city walks since 2003, now spanning across the globe. With short films meticulously tailored to the surroundings both thematically and architecturally, they guide interested individuals and passersby through the nighttime urban space of Regensburg. A WALL IS A SCREEN has already been invited to the festival in Regensburg four times in past years. For the 30th anniversary, they will also incorporate the city of Regensburg's cultural theme into their short film walk. The great thing about it: the tour is free, and anyone can spontaneously join.
