Overview
Socialist Slovenia’s first feature-length experimental film, DAILY NEWS was shot in 1980 on Super-8mm by then-26-year-old Franci Slak, who would go on to become an acclaimed industry director. As its title suggests, the film is a diary in which the author records his observations of the outside world; as Silvan Furlan writes, it “evokes with a certain nostalgia those golden days of the underground, when the freedom of filmmaking was written in capital letters.” Film theorist Jože Dolmark appraised it best: “the film contains a desire to record (not strictly chronologically) the experience of a lived day: what happened to you, what you experienced, or which is more interesting, what you would like the day to look like, according to how you’ve imagined it. I think the entire power of DAILY NEWS lies in this desire of Franci’s for what remained unspoken, what slipped, what remained outside the edges, and what we’ll never know.”
