STORY

Slovenia’s fascinating art of lace making has been going through a renaissance in the last decade, thanks to Slovenian modern artists, who approached lace making tradition in new forms of expression such as architecture, fashion, interior design, illustration and even culinary art.
Documentary Film Intertwining Threads of Modern Artists follows Slovenian artists from Ljubljana to London and New York in their search of preserving this rich legacy and explores unique potentials that the craft of bobbin lace-making offers in contemporary art.

Her graduation film “My Two Best Friends” won the Best Drama Award as well the Best Student Production at the prestigious Royal Television Society Student Awards. Rahela’s restless spirit and tendency for challenges was clearly reflected in her Master’s film at Bournemouth University in 2009, where she directed short stereoscopic (s3D) film “Coming Home”. Film is known as the first s3D film made by Slovenian filmmaker, for which she also received a title of the Honorary Citizen by her home municipality Krško (Slovenia) for pioneer achievements in stereoscopic filmmaking. The passion for stereoscopic filmmaking led her to numerous work experiences in London, New York, Kyoto, Berlin, Auckland, Toronto.

Rahela attended Berlinale Talent Campus in 2010, in 2011 was selected to Kyoto Filmmakers Lab in Japan and in the same year she also received a fellowship from the reputable German Filmmaking programme Nipkow. In 2013 she attended IUGTE-filmmakers lab in Russian Theater in Lithuania and in September 2014 was invited by the European Film Academy to attend filmmaker’s programme Sunday in a country in Luxembourg.
