Zasavci « revealed » events at 6 April 1941 in Carinthia
Film enthusiasts from the Zasava Film Creative Society Loke Studio, who after a short creative break last year surprised with a new project – War-Historic Film sharp top -, in cooperation with the Institute for Culture, Sport, Tourism and Youth Activities from Raven in Carinthia and the Playing Group of the Kotlje Cultural Society, on the anniversary of World War II, are preparing a unique event. It will take place on Sunday, April 6 at 6pm, in the multipurpose hall Kotlje.

In recent weeks, the film of Zasavsky’s director and screenwriter has been Matica Poropič and his teams from FUD Loka Studio on display in selected Slovenian cinemas. The choice of Carinthia to revive the groundbreaking moment in the nation’s history is not accidental: the venue for film events is the northern border, more specifically the sharp summit in Carinthia in the last three days before the outbreak of World War II.
The film, which was voluntary and striking, according to Poropatič, is powered by a « perhaps a little forgotten, neglected » topic, which – so Poropatič – has only been paying more attention to in recent years: this is a silent war between 6. The story was recorded at the location of abandoned farms in Podkum above Zagorje.
At the event at Kotlje Hall, which will be free, the power will be joined by filmmakers, theaters and historians, and the repertoire will include a theater program, historical presentations and screening of the documentary April ’41 in addition to the film sharp.

Namely, with the feature film, the Zasavci made a 20-minute feature-documentary film April ’41 on war times in Dravograd, Šentilj and Gornji Radgona. Both films complement each other: The feature is a slightly dramatic story that, as we said, took place in Carinthia in the first hours of the war, and the documentary presents the events from an academic, professional, systematic point of view with the help of well -known historians and other experts.
