Projekcija filmov Marianne Fahmy in pogovor / Screening of Marianne Fahmy’s film and talk

Pridružite se nam na zadnji projekciji iz serije 𝐼𝑧 𝑧̌𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑔𝑎 𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑝𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑧̌𝑒𝑙𝑒, ki jo kurira 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜́ iz Mosaic Rooms v Londonu.

V četrtek, 15. januarja 2026, si boste ob 18. uri v Muzeju sodobne umetnosti Metelkova lahko ogledali tri kratke filme egiptovske umetnice 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐲, ki trenutno živi in ustvarja v Aleksandriji.

Projekciji bo sledil pogovor z umetnico Marianne Fahmy, ki ga bo vodila 𝐀𝐧𝐣𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐨, filmska kritičarka in urednica filmskega programa v Slovenski kinoteki. Fahmy se nam bo pridružila na daljavo, po spletu.

Njeno delo, ki zajema vse od video ustvarjanja do instalacij, se odvija v izrazu pojma fabulacije, kot ga uvedeta Gilles Deleuze in Félix Guattari, le da je umetničina politična optika radikalno drugačna – zavezana je k demokratičnemu pristopu in plastenju podob, ki jih uporablja v izgradnji svojih svetov. V svojem delu skozi ekološko in dekolonialistično lečo odpira vprašanje spomina in iz pozabljenih artefaktov, arhivskih podob ter zvočnih posnetkov ustvarja nove – alternativne, utopične, a nenavadno domačne – možne/ mogoče prihodnosti svojega domačega prostora – Aleksandrije.

Program odpira kratki film 𝑲𝒂𝒋 𝒍𝒂𝒉𝒌𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 (2019), ki si zamišlja posledice poplav, napovedanih zaradi dviga morske gladine in potopitve delte Nila v Egiptu. Izhodišče za drugi film, 𝑫𝒆𝒛̌𝒆𝒍𝒂 𝒄̌𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒛̌𝒏𝒊𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒈 (2020), so dnevniki egiptovskega oceanografa iz tridesetih let prejšnjega stoletja, ki je bil razpet med fascinacijo nad Zahodom in ponosom na svoje orientalsko poreklo. Tretji film, 𝒁𝒂𝒌𝒐𝒏𝒊 𝒓𝒖𝒔̌𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒏 (2024), pa raziskuje zgodovino vode v okviru parafiktivne paradigme in pri tem postavlja vodne zbiralnike v vlogo možnih simbolov upora in preoblikovanja.

Join us for the final screening in the series 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑑’𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑢𝑙𝑠𝑒, curated by 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜́ from The Mosaic Rooms in London.

On Thursday, 15 January 2026, at 6 PM, you can visit the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova to watch three short films by Egyptian artist 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐲, who currently lives and works in Alexandria.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist, Marianne Fahmy, moderated by 𝐀𝐧𝐣𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐨, film critic and editor of the film programme at the Slovenian Cinematheque. Fahmy will join us remotely, online.

Her work—ranging from video-making to installations—unfolds through the notion of fabulation as introduced by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, though her political optics are radically different: committed to a democratic approach and the layering of images she uses to build her worlds. Through an ecological and decolonial lens, her work opens up questions of memory and, from forgotten artefacts, archival imagery, and sound recordings, creates new—alternative, utopian, yet uncannily familiar—possible futures for her home space: Alexandria.

The programme opens with the short film 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 (2019), which imagines the consequences of the floods predicted as a result of rising sea levels and the submersion of the Nile Delta in Egypt. The second film, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒔 (2020), is based on the diary of an Egyptian oceanographer from the 1930s, torn between fascination with the West and pride in his Oriental origins. The third film, 𝑳𝒂𝒘𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒔 (2024), explores the history of water within a parafictional paradigm, positioning water reservoirs as potential symbols of resistance and transformation.
