About Jaka T.

I'm a ba journalism with 20 years of experience in the business. For certain circumstances most of my work has been devoted to press (I have been editor-in-chief of The Slovenia Times for 9 years), but video remains my passion and a matter of interest. I'm no stranger to camera and digital editing. My beginnings were with a local TV station, in the past few years I made several video features for the local web TV called vest.si. Unfortunately the project has been cancelled (along with my references there). I can cover basically anything that fits into your editorial concept. I also created and wrote stories for animated children series (available from 2013). I live in Slovenia, but can hunt down anything that happens in the radius of 500 km (that includes most of the former Yugoslavia). I have a nose for a good story, or let's say attracting the global audience to this part of the world. For the unfortunate disappearance of my reference clips, I'm ready to contribute a trial story for you - if interested, of course.

About Miha M.

Filmmaker, photographer, traveller and anthropologist. With the help of a camera, he documents people's lives and their stories, which are defined by various cultural patterns and customs. As a multimedia engineer, he acquired his knowledge at the Multimedia Academy and Institute in Ljubljana. He continued with his studies at the Middlesex University in London, where he graduated in 2009. An enormous interest for the factors that shape different civilizations and lives of individuals, and the complex aspects of human interactions, led him to apply for the international studies of cultural diversity and transnational processes at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana and at the Universidad Autónoma in Barcelona, where he graduated with honours in 2015, and obtained the tittle European Joint Master of Social and Cultural Visual Anthropology. In his visually rich documentary opus, Miha Mohorič reveals the themes with anthropological and ethnographic characteristics. In his movies, he focuses particularly on overlooked social and cultural themes. He is and exceptional observer, who records the unspoken and the unheard with the sensible eye of a camera, and with it integrates the artistic aesthetic into the documentary film. Currently he is active in the production of the movie about the victims of war in Turkey, Iraq and Syria and is the co-funder of Kranjska Gora International Film Festival.

About Erik V.

I am a Slovenian citizen, born in 1979. Since 2001 I have been working as an investigative journalist, Middle East and Africa correspondent and a filmmaker. I started my career on Radio Student in Ljubljana and then went on to work for national weekly Mladina and Slovenian edition of Le Monde Diplomatique. Between 2012 and 2015 I was working for national public television RTV SLO. Throughout the years I was reporting mainly from the following countries and regions: East Timor, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey (Kurdistan), Palestine (Gaza), Egypt, South Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Western Sahara. For RTV SLO I made two documentary films, The Coalition of Hatred (Koalicija sovraštva; 2014) and Frontlines of Kurdistan (Fronte Kurdistana; 2015). The Coalition of Hatred, which dealt with neonazi and racist groups in Slovenia, their international relations and connections with the biggest Slovenian right-wing party SDS, was commended by CIRCOM in the category ‘Investigative journalism’ in May 2015 in Dundalk, Ireland. Frontlines of Kurdistan, which I filmed during some of the worst clashes between Kurds and Islamic state members in Iraq and Syria, received an award for ‘Outstanding accomplishment’ by Slovenian Association of Journalists in November 2015. Since then I have been a freelance filmmaker. In cooperation with Slovenian film production company Staragara and RTV SLO I filmed and directed two documentaries about Assyrian/Syriac communities in South-East Turkey and Iraq. The first one is titled The Three Holy Ones (Troje svetih; 2017). It tells the story about three monasteries (they are among the oldest in the world) and their adjacent Christian communities. The second, titled Guardians of Civilization (Varuhi civilizacije; 2018), features a story about a young Assyrian sculptor and his father, an esteemed Iraqi artist, who want to renovate ancient statues that were destroyed by islamists. I also took part in the documentary The Weight of Chains (Težina lanaca; 2010) and starred in another one, titled Chaos of the World (Kaos sveta; 2014). I also wrote three books: a non-fiction one, titled Gaza under siege (Obleganje Gaze; 2011) and two novels Shadows don’t burn (Sence ne gorijo; 2015) and Death for Life (Smrt za življenje; 2017). I continue to film in the Middle East and I am currently expanding my field of work into Western Africa. I am also part of organizational team behind Kranjska Gora International Film Festival, which we started in 2016.
