ERASED + LIVE Q&A WITH MIHA MAZZINI
We are proud to host a screening of Erased, followed by a live Q&A with Miha Mazzini. Dr Mazzini is an award-winning author, screenwriter, film director, and lecturer. He wrote the screenplay for Erased based on his novel of the same title, for which he received the Best Screenplay award at the 2019 Raindance Film Festival in London among others. Ana gives birth at the local hospital and everything goes well. There is only a small problem with the paperwork – her file is not on the computer. A temporary loss of data seems to be caused by a software glitch, nothing to worry about. Within a few days, Ana is entangled in a web of bureaucracy of Kafkaesque proportions: not being in the computer means no social security, no permanent address and no baby. She is brutally forced to leave a newborn girl alone at the hospital without any right to visit her until everything is sorted out. All of a sudden Ana is a foreigner, even though she has lived in Slovenia all of her life. Legally, she doesn’t exist. So, her child is an orphan. And orphans are put up for adoption. Echoing in many ways the Windrush scandal and inspired by the true events of the 26th of February 1992, when the Ministry of the Interior of the newly independent Republic of Slovenia erased 25,671 of its own nationals. Many of those are still unable to regain their legal status.DramaPT1H26Mtbc2026-05-25Judita Frankovic
