SCCA-Ljubljana is joining the 31st International Short Film Week in Regensburg, one of the most prominent short film festivals in Germany, which will take place from 20 to 30 March. The festival, which has been presenting innovative and daring short film expressions from all over the world for more than three decades, will this time pay special attention to Slovenian film.
The DIVA Station archive will present Interlaced DIVA, a programme curated by Peter Cerovšek, presenting the voices and perspectives of mainly female authors. The title of the programme plays on the double meaning of the term “interlaced”. On a technical level, it refers to the structure of the video signal, while on a symbolic level it expresses the interplay of diverse artistic voices and highlights the contribution of women artists in exploring themes such as gender roles, normative representations of femininity and the representation of the female body. The selected works critically examine entrenched social structures that influence our understanding of identity, sexuality and social relations. Through an interplay of images and ideas, the programme invites the viewer to reflect on how these motifs resonate in a contemporary context.
The programme features works by artists Zemira Alajbegović, Neven Korda, Ana Nuša Dragan, Ema Kugler, Sasha Ihnatovich, Jasmina Mustafić, Duba Sambolec and Sara Bezovšek.

”The physical infrastructure of digital worlds spreads across the ground of foreign territories. Sometimes buried a few meters underground, situated at the remote edge of the inhabited world, but always invisible to most users. Digital spaces seemingly emerge from nowhere, while their carriers permeate the soil like fraudulent root systems, an error, an inconsistency that does not adapt to the laws of the biotope it appropriates.” – Lara Reichmann
Participating: Mohamed Abdelkarim (EG/NL), Neo Nor (SI), Agnieszka Polska (PL), He Zike (CN)
Curator: Lara Reichmann
