The national broadcaster RTV Slovenija organises a film day for the blind and visually impaired in cooperation with Kino Šiška and Beletrina Publishing House. We will show three movies with an audio description, created in RTV Slovenija as a co-production or in-house production. We shall start with the screening of a short feature film entitled Trieste Is Ours! (Trst je naš) by Žiga Virc. The movie was nominated for the 2009 Foreign Film Academy Award. After the modern battle for Trieste, we will begin a battle of interpersonal relations with Panic (Panika) by Barbara Zemljič. The movie is an excellent adaptation of the namesake novel by the female writer Desa Muck. We will conclude our film day with the evening screening of Seduce Me (Zapelji me) by Marko Šantić, which is nominated for Foreign Language Academy Award. All three movies are going to be presented by the film makers themselves. We shall be joined by Žiga Virc, the director of short feature film Trieste Is Ours! Barbara Zemljič, the film director of the feature film Panic; Marko Šantič, the director of the feature film Seduce Me! and members of their film crews.
