NEWS>>> My educational documentary film "THE NEANDERTHAL FLUTE OF DIVJE BABE" has reached more than 860.000 views on YOUTUBE platform until today /23.7.2025/; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHy9FOblt7Y "Short film, full title is Playing the Neanderthal flute of Divje babe, is authored by Sašo Niskač, music is performed by Ljuben Dimkaroski, scientific adviser is Dr. Ivan Turk, archaeologist. Extraordinary find from 1995 in Divje babe cave site, western Slovenia, it is most comprehensively described in the paper at http://www.cox.si/tidldibab.pdf, was met with great enthousiasm on one side and with great scepticism on the other side of the scientific audience, for details see http://www.greenwych.ca/divje-b.htm. Only in 2009 the dilemma if the holes in the bone were accidental or purpose-made, was finally resolved. Ljuben Dimkaroski, member of the Ljubljana Opera Orchestra for 35 years (trumpet), was given a clay replica of the flute by the curator of Slovenian National Museum on occasion of Ljuben's exhibition "Image in Stone". In his dreams, about a year later, he got a clue of how to play this prehistoric instrument."

1. del večera>>> "Košnja Vinomerskih steljnikov": 11min. Kamera: Tristan Dragan. Montaža: Barbara Turk Niskač; Kratki etnografski film prikazuje košnjo in postavljanje stoga v Vinomerskih steljnikih. Steljniki s svojo podobo, ki jo zaznamujejo redko posejane breze s prevladujočo podrastjo orlove praproti, so značilnost Bele krajine. Ob prenehanju košnje orlove praproti oziroma stelje, se v 40‒50 letih v sukcesijskih fazah steljniki spremenijo v gozd hrasta in navadnega gabra, ki je v nižinskem delu Bele krajine naravna gozdna združba. Vendar pa raziskave nakazujejo, da so najbolj biotsko pestri prav steljniki, kjer se praprot kosi in odnaša s površin. Trije spomini, vezani na steljnike, kal in njivo bodo na ogled v obliki kratkih animiranih filmov; So-organizator: Kanu Kamp Kolpa

YOUTH FILM&PHOTO WORKSHOPS in Ljubljana (SLO) – “Ljubljana, my city”


In September and October 2016 in frame of our international film event Youth Film Festival 3LITTLEWOLVES in Ljubljana (SLO), in cooperation with APIS Institute in Ljubljana, I was in charge (as educator) of the organization of participatory photography and video workshops Ljubljana, my city. 

We used photo and video to explore how 12 to 14-year-old youth perceive the city they live in.

In the end of this film and photo project in November 2016 we prepared a photo exhibition in Trubar Literature House in the centre of Ljubljana, presented a printed photo booklet and postcards made during this project. Each participant chose two to three pictures for the exhibition. The workshops were supported by Municipality of Ljubljana, culture space Trubarjeva hiša literature in Ljubljana, Primary school Valentin Vodnik in Ljubljana, Canon (SLO) and Sony (SLO).

Short films made by young participants of our film and photo works are available for the pre-view here>>>
