Programme
One of the most distinctive features of Koperground Festival is its emphasis on critical thought, expressed through the choice of film, performances, musicians and invited guests, with whom conversations are held on a daily basis throughout the festival. These guests can be activists, social scientists, artists, producers from the field of culture and so on. The interlocutor is usually [Marko Brecelj], head of DPZN and of the festival, as well as an avid local political and cultural activist.
The movie section presents world cinema with auters like Bela Tarr, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roy Andersson. Collaborations with film festivals from around Slovenian often take place, as for example selections of best films from Stoptrik International Film Festival, Animateka International Animated Film Festival and the Festival of Independent Film. Slovenian film makers, especially those from the creative margins – like the hyperactive Diego Menedes – are also invited to screen their works.
The set of hosted musicians is diverse and until now includes musicians and groups like Rambo Amadeus (ME), Edo Maajka (BA), Kultur Shock (US), Xiu Xiu (US), Bernays Propaganda (MK), Gori Ussi Winnetou (HR), Nina Bulatovix, Žoambo Žoet Workestrao and Ludovik Material. There are also performances by different artists, like the theatre group Building block (US), Saltshakers (NL), Hleb Teatar (RS) and Kolektiv Narobov; the Cirkulaciji 2 arts collective and En-Knap Productions; and various other, hard-to-categorise activities.
The dense programme is accompanied by workshops that can touch on practical issues like organizing events and exhibitions, stage management, video editing and comic book skills – and also on more unorthodox practices like a workshop on "Soft Terrorism", run by Marko A. Kovačič.
