Dear students.

After the successful first FilmUP! event, we warmly invite you to join us again! This time, we will screen the documentary The Silence of Life (2024), directed by Nina Blažin.

The film will be subtitled in English, and the screening will be followed by a discussion with the director in Slovenian, where the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the filmmaking process.

About the film:
A strong woman, palliative care advocate Manca Košir, receives a cancer diagnosis yet continues to celebrate life throughout. The film also explores the director’s personal experience of losing her father. Through videos of her mother, recorded by the director, she reflects on her father’s absence, intertwining this material with Manca’s story. The film offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences of loss and mortality. How does time shape our memories and our sense of loss? This creative observational film explores the acceptance of time and the celebration of life. What will you do with the time you are given?

About the director:
Nina Blažin graduated in 2006 in television and film directing from the AGRFT. Her feature debut How Much Do You Love Yourself? received the Vesna Award for Best Documentary at the Festival of Slovenian Film in 2018.

The event is intended for all UP employees and students interested in contemporary documentary film, the creative process of film directing, or in learning more about the themes addressed in the film.

Registration: The event is free of charge, but the number of seats is limited. Registration via this form is mandatory >>
