Bojana Bregar

Bojana Bregar is a freelance film critic, writer and curator of film programmes. She was born in Slovenia where she studied philosophy and cultural sociology at the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Arts. During her studies in 2007 she began working as an assistant of the film programme director at the programming department of Slovenian Cinematheque. In 2014 she co-founded the Kraken Short Film Promotion Society, that became a platform for many previously marginalised film authors in Slovenia. She organized and curated various short film programmes and events with her colleagues, among them »Europe in Short« programme at the Ljubljana International Film Festival and a series of short film events called »Kratki!« at the Slovenian Cinematheque. She also helped establish and organise the FeKK – Ljubljana Short Film Festival in 2015. At FeKK she is a member of programming team as well as the head of the industry events. From 2009 she is a film critic and writer at Ekran, one of the oldest film magazines in Europe, where she is a member of the editorial staff. In her work she is most interested about contemporary cinema and its socio-cultural context, as well as larger historical and ideological implications of the developments in the modern cinema movements.
