Persönliches Gepäck (2009)] I'm not interested at all to please selectors of international film festivals with speculative films about non-existing exotic Slovenia. In Personal Baggage I focus on today's complete inability to empathise. What makes the protagonist of the film interesting is her egoism, reflecting the general athmosphere of the present moment. The modern Slovenian society's unwillingness to cope with its typical Central European historical baggage bothers me as a filmmaker and especially - as a human being.
