SCCA-Ljubljana participates at the event Neighbours’ Day which is this year organized by the primary school Tone Čufar and within the program of the Cultural City Quarter Tabor.

Project Room SCCA will open its doors and invite pupils, their professors and parents to enter into the DIVA Station video archive. Just for this occasion we will prepare video screenings of cartoons and animations from the archive.

Who will knock on our doors?

Bold professor Rozina from the first Slovene animated full-length film Socialization of the bull? directed by Zvonko Čoh and Milana Erič in 1998.

Koyaa, who will be amusing us in his three adventures Broom, Waiting and Pancakes; Koyaa was directed by Kolja Saksida in 2005.

The Plastos Civilisation from Catastropolis. In the year 2223 the experts for the exploration of the devastated Asia discovered the remains of a civilization. In the surviving city of Catastropolis they learned of the existence of living organisms, which they named 'the Plastoses'. One is able to recognize typical Plastoses because of the combination of human organs with organic parts of other living beings and often also from the combination of organic and mechanic parts.

We will be able to follow the traces of the Plastos Civilization in animated films by Marko A. Kovačič and Kolja Saksida made in 2006: Lab Party and Bright Future: Plastos Fedor Assists.
All, who will be eager to get more familiar with Plastoses, will be invited to artist studio of Marko A. Kovačič. His studio is arranged as a cabinet of wonders and gives a fascinating insight into the artistic creation.

The visit of the studio will start at around 4 pm.

Enter with us into this magnificent world of "a bit different art cartoons”!
