Happy new year!

A bit more than a week a go, precisely on 21. 12. I had presentation of my thesis titled Analysis of print quality of digital duplicators, which was the final project of my studies and I finally graduated. Now this is ticked done and I can do whatever I want, yeah!


After the presentation I stayed in Ljubljana for two more days to meet friends. I slept in Celica hostel, a former prison of Yugoslavian army. Premier Janez Janša was once imprisoned there. But it's renovated now and changed into a hip hostel. The designers decided to keep a little bit of prison spirit so there's a choice of 20 unique prison cells where you can sleep behind the prison bars. I wanted to stay there since the hostel opened but never really took the chance. Untill now. This is the cell where I slept. It was fun!

The Christmas I spent with my family in Kavče. It's getting really big, this family of mine, a lot of nephews running around and a lot of big people too, so it was a real full house. There's a bit of snow in Kavče and the temperatures are very low, brrrrr, not to walk around too much...

I will spend New Year's eve in Nijmegen. I'll see for if Dutch fireworks are different than the Slovene ones. :)) Here below is a greeting card for you, but you have to click it in order to see it played. Somehow this blogger can't really digest animated giffs.

Busy december

It's been quite a week. I was in Slovenia. I had to bind and deliver my thesis (picture above) and I also helped at Animateka festival in Kinodvor, together with a nice crew of projectionists: Maja, Marko, Jakob, Aulne and Anja. It was also nice to see people I haven't seen a long time.
The festival is one of the best film festivals in Slovenia. It has a nice atmosphere and also takes good care of the crew (that is very important if you are a crew member or if you are served by one of the happy crew members).
Here is a link to the official site, maybe you can find me on some pictures (hardly possible): www.animatekafestival.org. Maja took a lot of pictures of the background, like this one, where Aulne (new French projectionist colleague) and me are doing the competition program action. You can find the whole collection of Maja's pictures here (you really should take a look, they are very nice!).
