Rooster's Breakfast in Brussels
by Cineuropa
Slovenian films will be presented from March 1-4 in the Flagey cultural centre in Brussels. During the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the showcase is a focused glimpse at the Slovenian cinematography from 1987-2007.
The event will open with Marko Naberšnik's feature debut Rooster's Breakfast, the biggest domestic box office hit of the last two decades, which has already garnered 170,000 admissions in Slovenia.
With the film The Felons, dating back to 1987, we pay homage to director Franci Slak, who passed away at the end of last year.
The family drama Tuning by Igor Šterk, which unfolds between Brussels and Ljubljana, will conclude the Slovenian film evenings in the EU capital.
The programme also includes the short animated film Liebeskrank by the young artist Špela Čadež, which has already received multiple awards, and the episode Cherries from the 2003 animated film series The Beezes by the director Gregor Mastnak.
The 1997 dance film Vertigo Bird, directed by Sašo Podgoršek, which surpasses the boundaries of gravitation, shows the dance "En knap" dance group at its best.
The event is coordinated by the Slovenian Film Fund and the Permanent Representation of Slovenia to the EU in Brussels, with the assistance of Creative Media Business Alliance CMBA, 2007.
