Wednesday, December 3, 6:30 pm, Allen Auditorium The Journey (original Slovene title Pot, 2008, dir. Andraž Pöschl, 50 minutes) is a documentary produced to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Primož Trubar (1508-1588), the 16th-century Slovenian Protestant reformer and founder of the modern Slovene language. Trubar’s life and works are shown in the context of his travels and collaborations with fellow Protestant reformers throughout Europe. The film’s settings range from Ljubljana and Trieste to Vienna, Salzburg, Nuremburg and Tübingen. To understand Slovenia is to understand the importance of the Slovene language to its inhabitants.
