Were history even the slightest bit fair, he wouldn't be doing that. Miha Kralj is considered the pioneer of electronic music in Slovenia and former Yugoslavia. His debut album Andromeda (1980) has achieved cult status and is still sought after by music enthusiasts all around the world. He also played in groups Prah and Dekameroni, for the latter he wrote his most famous song Sava Rustles. At last he got his own documentary.
Movie10.0DocumentaryBetween 2013 and 2023, Slovenian Cinematheque preserved and digitized 179 short films created on a tiny stretch of land between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea in the period of socialism (1945-1991), but mostly outside the prevailing state production. Today, we belatedly recognize these films as experimental and as an important, innovative part of the Slovenian film heritage, visible again for the first time after decades. The production of Alpe-Adria Underground! has radically accelerated efforts to preserve, digitize and restore this segment of Slovenian cinema.
