Slovenia After Six

sloveniaaftersix.jpg
From the Slovenia After Six trailer. Click here to watch it.

Not many movies have “Slovenia” in their title. In fact, according to IMDb, none do. If you look at IMDb’s search results, the closest you’ll find (among English-language films) is the UK television series “A Place in Slovakia.” (Hmmm. No comment.)

But that’s all going to change in February 2007, when the New Zealand-produced film “Slovenia After Six” is scheduled to make its world premiere. The trailer for this “seat-of-your-pants, zero-budget” film is already online, although the producers admit on their FAQ page that it has pretty much nothing to do with Slovenia:

Q: What’s Slovenia got to do with the title?
OK, time to ‘fess up. Pretty much nothing - the title started life as a mixed up predictive text message. We both thought that would be a cool title for a film. But there is also a tenuous link to something in the film regarding Slovenia, to watch out for.

Interestingly, the film has the support of Slovenia-friendly retailer Harvey Norman.

(Thanks Mark!)

    The trailer left me saying ‘huh?’ but oh well!

    Well, I guess that’s what most people do when they hear the word “Slovenia” :)) But a big thumbs-up to the authors for posting some links and facts about Slovenia.

    Btw, I wanted to commend you on the Bratislava panorama flashing in the title header. Nice one!
    Unfortunately I am not the first to notice
    Drat!

    Well, it’s not “Slovenia during sex” :-) it’s “after six”.

    @Alcessa & crni: Also, the cast would have been much different: directed by Max Modic and starring Aurelio Juri, Nina Osenar and Sanja Grohar. Special guest star would of course be MiÅ¡a Molk, with cameo appearances by Rosvita Pesek, Tone AnderliÄ? and … (drum roll)… the current prime minister JJ ;)

    Pengovsky,

    some of your favourites are meant to appear après sex - I mean six -, aren’t they?!

    just found a german site about slovenija … check my blog or this site: www.einslive.de/daswort/europa/laenderinfo/slowenien_ex.phtml.
    I’m curious what you think about it.

    Christian: let’s say that (at least in my opinion) some of the facts are what we would like to think of ourselves rather that what we are. Other than that, seems o.k., no terrible mistakes or the like. I like how the site swiftly steals gnocchi from the italians and makes it into an austrian dish. And the mention of punkers climbing mt. Triglav is priceless… (btw, what’s a “mautsystem”?)

    @alcessa: Actually, the grapevine has it that the “male cameo performances” were at one point or the other intimatelly connected with the “female cameo performance”. There was even a film concieved around this plot, but it was scrapped, suposedly because it depicted real events.

    Hmm, Slovenia has pretty nothing to do with the movie itself. Unless there are some symbolic meanings to be unveiled. For instance, that Slovenes are rstless and anxious as the charachters in the movie. Gosh, hope not!;)
