About This Movie

DAILY NEWS is an intriguing glimpse into early experimental cinema from Slovenia, reeling with a raw, observational tone. Shot on Super-8mm, you really feel that tactile quality, almost like peering through a window into the director’s mind. Franci Slak, just 26 at the time, crafts a personal diary, capturing the nuances of daily life with a kind of poetic pacing that’s both engaging and reflective. The film's lack of traditional narrative structure might throw some off, but it actually enhances its thematic depth, inviting viewers to contemplate the mundanity and beauty of existence. The practical effects and film grain create an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and unsettling, making it a distinctive piece in any art-house collection.

DAILY NEWS has been somewhat elusive in terms of availability, with few prints circulating among collectors. Its experimental nature and the historical context of Slovenia’s film industry add layers of interest, making it a curious find for those delving into early Eastern European cinema. The film's scarcity means that when it does appear, it often garners attention from serious collectors, particularly those with an affinity for avant-garde works.
