”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)

The films deal with landscapes, both internal and external, in one way or another. If human characters or figures are present, they are part of the landscape rather than occupying the foreground; in this way, we establish a relationship to space, its dimensions, and the entities within it, which manifest themselves in different ways. Above all, humans manifest themselves through the traces of social arrangements that determine the ways and possibilities of moving through spaces.
Participating: Ana Brumat, Ester Ivakič, Blaž Kutin, Blaž Murn, David Paige, Maja Prelog, Juš Premrov
Curator: Robert Kuret

The fourth edition of the international festival of experimental AV practices V-F-X Ljubljana in the Slovenian Cinematheque opens with the award-winning feature film Don’t Think It Will Ever Pass: 25. 4.–26. 1. by Tomaž Grom with live music. This year, we are putting African and Romanian productions and films by Slovenian students in the foreground, hosting the Viennese collective Total Refusal and paying homage to the films of Vasko Pregelj with a live electronic music. The Vistas programme brings an eclectic range of high-profile titles from the international scene. We close the festival in Kino Šiška with an immersive live performance by Amélie Nilles. The accompanying programme consists of an analogue film workshop, a panel discussion on independent film labs and the VR Point with a short film in virtual reality.
