The LIFE TRŠCA project is joining the event with a film evening on August 23, 2024, when you will be able to watch the film Alcarras by Catalan director Carla Simón under the stars in the garden of the Krpan Gallery at 9 p.m. The film was the first Catalan-language film to receive the Golden Bear at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Leon Kebe, CEO of Notranjski Park. The discussion will be moderated by Vesna Telič Kovač.
In case of bad weather, the screening will be moved to the Cerknica Cultural Center. Admission is free.
Reviews
"With this courageous, intense, and unforgettable film of rebellion set in the peach orchards of Lleida, the director redefines and expands the forms of beauty. /…/ Alcarràs is /…/ a revolution, a monument, one of Michelangelo's awakening slaves, freshly carved from the hard marble of reality. It is a film that unfolds before the viewer's eyes—a miracle of clarity, perseverance, dedication, simple and primal beauty. It is a film that makes us better people. It is something so incredible and rare, so delicate and unique, that the only possible response is enthusiasm." Luis Martínez, El Mundo
"When a film completely and utterly disarms you in that good old-fashioned way, and you feel like you're twelve or thirteen again, but this time with deeper insight, you know you've stumbled upon a real gem." Ivana Perić, Lupiga.Com
"A masterpiece." Pedro Almodóvar
"Carla Simón's excellent film /.../ is proof that fiction is sometimes the best way to discover the truth. /…/ The director has an extraordinary ability to elicit the most natural acting from children you have ever seen. /…/ It is difficult to imagine a documentary about the non-fictional Solé family that would feel more authentic. The film boasts a light, improvisational style, flawless control of tone, and a dark but sun-drenched ending that I will never forget." Tim Robey, The Telegraph
"You rarely see the work process in films – but in Alcarràs, which won the Golden Bear in Berlin, you do. You see tractors, hoeing, fruit picking, pallets, cooperatives – and people who are connected, enriched, made happy, given meaning and humanized by their work. But this meaningful, human work, which strengthens community principles, is coming to an end. Honour is being swallowed up by the market. Tradition is powerless. Work no longer saves you. It is turning into something cruel, extortionate, drastic, inhuman. And when you see how the Soléji, played by non-professional actors, chase and shoot rabbits at night in the fields, which are eating their crops, it becomes clear how much capitalism – the cacophony of the struggle for survival, the law of the strongest and the race to the bottom – has permeated even the best among us." Marcel Štefančič, Jr., Mladina
The implementation of extensive nature conservation projects exceeds the financial capacity of the local community, therefore Notranjska Park regularly applies for projects with the possibility of co-financing by the European Union.
