A German film curator, programmer, lecturer and film journalist, Buder has served as programme director of the Cottbus Film Festival since 2015, one of Germany\u2019s leading festivals dedicated to the cinemas of Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buder has been closely connected with Slovenian cinema for almost three decades, ever since its \u201cnew wave\u201d of the late 1990s. Cottbus was among the festivals to provide an early international platform for films by Andrej Ko\u0161ak, Igor \u0160terk, Damjan Kozole, Janez Burger and Jan Cvitkovi\u010d, among others. Buder also regularly promotes Slovenian cinema in Germany: he is a curator and advisor to SloVision \u2013 Slovenian Film Days in Berlin, organised by SKICA Berlin and the Slovenian Film Centre. In 2023, he curated the extensive programme Not a Retrospective: Slovenian Cinema at Berlin\u2019s Arsenal cinema, bringing together classics of Slovenian cinema and contemporary productions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a text for the festival catalogue reflecting on his relationship with Slovenia and Slovenian cinema, Buder wrote: <em>\u201cThat\u2019s how Slovenia became \/&#8230;\/ a place where my own experiences were both reflected and refracted, and where there was so much to discover\u2014above all, contacts with wonderful people in a diverse film scene. A scene as diverse as the country itself: Europe under a magnifying glass, nearly every kind of landscape and vastly different cultural influences packed into a relatively small area between the Karst and the Karawanken, history caught between Central and Southeastern Europe, and yet always permeable and open to dialogue. \/&#8230;\/ Slovenian filmmakers always look quite closely and discover what is actually completely normal: namely, that there is very little that is actually normal. This creative bent to portray complexity in a straightforward way carries those philosophical undertones for which Slovenia is renowned, but it\u2019s usually also quite entertaining. And in doing so, it is deeply inclusive and diverse, because it either points beyond the confines of one\u2019s own perspective or makes painfully clear just how confining that perspective is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By naming Bernd Buder a Friend of Slovenian Film, the festival pays tribute to his many years of engagement with Slovenian cinema and his contribution to presenting and promoting it internationally. We are honoured and delighted to welcome him to Portoro\u017e this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, we are delighted to welcome Bernd Buder as the festival\u2019s guest of honour and Friend [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":19602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aktualno"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.1 -
