Filmoljubje

2018 marks the 70th anniversary of the legendary Slovenian film On Our Own Land. The inhabitants of the Baška grapa Valley, “the living monument to the film”, where most of the film was shot and where memories of its making have been transformed into materialised heritage (monument, memorial room, film-themed trail), realise that only the very last witnesses of this pioneering venture are still there to tell the tale. The project had been in development for three decades, motivated by the desire to shed light on the turbulent times after WWII, when the idea arose to make the first Slovenian feature film.
