In my dreams a tree grows every night Vid Hajnšek / Slovenia / 2024 / 55 min / Slovenian

A poetic documentary mosaic of the Halo landscape and its people, which reflects on the coexistence of the past and the present in the collective memory of a community through the intertwining of the individual and the collective. The film takes as its starting point the photographs of Stojan Kerbler, the poetry of Franže Forstnerič, the director's grandfather, and the stories of Halo residents of different generations. The film was awarded the Vesna for Best Documentary at the recent Portorož Festival of Slovenian Film.
