SLOVENIA, A TRANSIT COUNTRY

A MULTIMEDIA PROJECT ON WORKERS IN THE TOURIST INDUSTRY AND THEIR CUSTOMERS

Authors: Brane Zorman, Irena Pivka
Production: Maska 2005

The project Zone TOURISM is primarily an hour long journey, a drive with an appropriately equipped tourist bus, which assumes the functions of a multimedia art gallery.
Passengers pay a symbolic fee upon entering the bus. A friendly hostess distributes to the passengers a copy of the catalogue ZoneTourism, offers them resfreshments and explains the route of the journey.

As an advertising part of the media representation and the realisation of project Zone TOURISM , 23,000 catalogues with special offers were printed. The catalogue is a small advertising brochure, and was inserted within all the copies of the weekly Mladina (published on January 31, 2005). The weekly Mladina therefore became the main advertising and distribution printed medium.

INTRODUCTION TO THE VIDEO

We prepared the ZoneTourism project together with those who are directly involved in the organisation and the realisation of illegal border crossing, i.e. with those who are here and are now treated as criminals, who are part of a local or international criminal organisation and who with different means, enable immigrants without legal permits to cross national borders and travel within a country, outside their country of origin.
We spoke to different anonymous sources and convicts who were sentenced according to Article 311 of the Penal Code of the Republic of Slovenia. The stories and statements are thematically presented in full. The interviews took place between July and October of 2004. All interviewees are anonymous, in compliance with the law in relation to the Personal Data Protection act.
