Talk and screening

Back2Back is a series of events where we invite local and international authors to present their production and establish a dialogue with works of their choice from the DIVA Station archive. This time, we invited director, screenwriter, director of photography, and musician Juš Premrov, known for his short experimental films and the feature film Atlas, who designed the program around his older film Good Morning (Dobro jutro, 2011).
Sometimes things turn out differently than one might think. On the occasion of the inclusion of a series of works from the very beginning of my creative journey in the DIVA Station archive, I invite you to watch the rarely screened film Dobro Jutro (Good Morning), which Matevž Jerman, Matevž Rener, and I created one autumn day in 2011. Today, with my somewhat hazy memory, I can only guess at the impulses that led to its creation. As is probably evident from the film, we certainly had a lot of fun devising and executing numerous unpredictable and unusual situations. The accompanying program consists of films that surprised me the most when reviewing the archive. Each, in its own way, playfully wanders through spaces that may seem entirely ordinary at first glance but hide many unexpected things within.

Juš Premrov (1987) is a director, screenwriter, director of photography, musician, and versatile creator who has been active in many areas of film since 2010. Shortly after graduating from the Academy of Visual Arts (A.V.A.), he made several short feature films in independent production (among them the most notable Outside (Zunaj, 2015) and The Sky (Nebo, 2017), which received a special mention from the jury at the Herceg Novi), and co-created the successful series by Luka Marčetič In Two (V dvoje). Professionally, he most often finds himself in the role of assistant director on TV series and feature films, but in 2025, he took on the role of director on the daily series Restless Blood (Nemirna kri). He has long maintained a documentary-experimental practice of exploring non-anthropocentric perspectives. Within this framework, he presented his first feature film, Atlas, and the short film x1 – Eschaton in 2022, which was awarded the Vesna for exceptional achievements at the Slovenian Film Festival. In 2025, he continued his work with the films e1 – conflict (e1 – konflikt) and e2 – unity (e2 – enotnost), which serve as an introduction to his upcoming feature film element. As part of this practice, he is responsible for all aspects of creation, production, and post-production. He recently completed filming his first state-funded short experimental film, They All Died (Vsi so umrli). (Photo: Simon Tanšek)
