The official programme of the Portorož Film Festival started today with the morning screening of Music for the Future. Idrija's Monika Rijavec and Dušan Moravec played key roles in the making of this documentary.
The film Music for the Future was produced by RTV Slovenia. The scriptwriter Monika Rijavec wove the stories of young Ukrainian musicians who managed to flee to Slovenia during the first days of the war. The moving stories of the young artists are complemented by descriptions of the perilous journey to Ljubljana, where they received a warm welcome. Živa Ploj Peršuh conductor and artistic director, also speaks in the film and, upon seeing the tragic fates, immediately reacted and, with the help of the Foundation, organised the rescue of 124 young musicians. Most of them are still living in Slovenia today and are involved in education at various levels.
The film has already been premiered on the regular programme of TV Slovenia and, on the occasion of the recent visit of the Youth Symphony Orchestra, also at the Film Theatre in Idrija. The film, which has been selected by the festival selector for the Panorama screening programme, is out of competition for the main festival prizes.
