Documentary about Slovenes

Hi everyone!

My name is Maja Senekovič and I’ll be shooting a documentary about Slovenes and our identity in the forthcoming season for national television of Slovenia.
When I was thinking about how to make it, I was thinking to myself: ,,Who could better describe us, if not foreigners who came to live to Slovenia and who can notice what we are like most!’’
Especially when comparing foreign habits, ideology, etc. with ours.

My purpose is not to tell only about how we are like, but also what identifies us. What do we do in certain situations, what is important to us, what joins us, what makes us same,... (concerning sports, coulture, ...) Anythigs for our everyday.

I know - a lot of people and a lot of different expectations,… Good and bad experiences, things one can not get used to… and things that at the end make a day going.

For a certain reason, I’d like to have different groups of people in my movie. Experiences are different when talking to foreigners who live here for a shorter period of time, don’t know to speak Slovene and of those, who got to know our history, language,…

I also don’t plan to show only the talking, but I’d like to see some action. I’d like to see how you get along in everyday, with Slovenes,… Please take some time, and think about different situations in everyday life. I’d be so happy to get people who have variety of different experiences, dance our national dances, sing folksongs,… (maybe). Or nothing that Slovenian as well.
(i need a bit more help for people who don't live in Maribor and Ljubljana, since I'd like to show Slovenes as a nation not as inhabitants of two towns. We are quite different. Some people already told me. ;) )

Be aware this is only a formal research. After choosing and forming a script, I’ll be able to move toward possible shooting,..
If you have any further question, please let me know. I’m hoping for your help and reply.

I'm looking forward for your replys.
Thank you so much for sharing some of your experiences with me,

Greetings ,

Maja Senekovič
