O programu
Video in Progress je od leta 2014 del festivala Fotoničini trenutki – Mesec fotografije.
Šesta edicija mednarodne selekcije Video in Progress je nastala pod vplivom velikih migracij, ki so se začele na našem ozemlju odvijati v lanskem letu. Preko balkanske poti so državno mejo prečkale množice travmatiziranih ljudi, ki so zbežali pred vojno, nasiljem in revščino. Evropske države so se odzvale z zapiranjem mej in represijo. Prevladujoči diskurz politike in medijev je bil ves čas osnovan na vprašanjih varnosti za lokalno prebivalstvo, med tem ko so bile varnost in človekove pravice prišlekov večkrat sistematično kršene. Medijsko in politično vzbujanje strahu pred begunci in migranti je vzrok izrazitemu porastu ksenofobije in sovražnega govora v javnem diskurzu v zadnjem letu.
Temu se želiva zoperstaviti, zato sva izbrali dela tako uveljavljenih kot mladih mednarodnih ustvarjalk in ustvarjalcev, ki vsebujejo močno humanistično sporočilo. Videi na subjektiven način obravnavajo teme kot so vojna, begunska in migrantska izkušnja, politična manipulacija, nasilje državnega birokratskega aparata ter univerzalno iskanje boljše prihodnosti.

About the program
Video in Progress is part of the Photonic Moments – Month of Photography festival since 2014.
The sixth edition of the international selection Video in Progress was made under influence of large migrations, which took place on our territory last year. Masses of traumatized people fleeing war, violence and poverty were crossing our national border along their Balkan route. European countries have responded with repression and closing of borders. Throughout this time, the prevailing political and media discourse was based on issues of safety for local inhabitants, whereas the safety and human rights of the incomers were being repeatedly and systematically breached. Hyped fear mongering by media and politicians is responsible for the extreme growth of xenophobia and hate speech in the local public discourse over the past year.
To confront these developments, we are presenting this selection of works with strong humanistic message by both prominent and young international artists. Their videos explore, in a subjective manner, topics such as war, refugee and migrant experience, political manipulation, violence at the hands of the national bureaucratic apparatus, and the universal search for a better future.
