Screening and talk on Friday, 4 July 2025, 9 pm at the inner courtyard of Škuc Gallery, Ljubljana.
The programme begins with microorganisms that can only be seen under a microscope, and through this – in film terms – close-up, it slowly approaches human characters. However, they seem to be expressions of some impersonal forces: something is within their bodies, and it works through them. The functioning of human bodies and the possibility of knowing it is necessarily linked to the development of technology and spiritual practices. The body becomes open: a phenomenon that lies between an organism and a multitude of sub-organisms, exhibiting the capacity to self-organise and an abstraction into code or information that can be manipulated.
Participating: Uršula Berlot, Tina Ščavničar, Ester Ivakič, Teja Miholič, Hannah Koselj Marušič, Luka Dekleva, Luka Prinčič
Curator: Robert Kuret

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.

Screening of film/video oeuvre 1989–2024
21 March / 1 April / 17 May / 3 June 2025
Programme at Slovenian Cinematheque and Slovenian Film Database
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana and Slovenian Cinematheque
Curators: Vesna Bukovec, Robert Kuret
Nataša Prosenc Stearns is a video artist and a filmmaker who works with a wide range of moving image production and presentation, from scriptwriting, filming and editing to spatial installations, video objects and prints. The presentation of Nataša Prosenc Stearns’ film and video oeuvre, entitled Between Body and Space, is a selection of her work, which includes four programmes: Vortex, Process, Vertical Horizon and Black Waters. The first two programmes are still flirting with the fictional form. At the same time, the other two are already entirely experimental, with works of radically different aesthetics, genres and production contexts within a single strand, created in different periods from the late 1980s to the present day.
