Synopsis

Footage from Radio-Television Slovenia captures the media portrayal of migrants in Slovenia from 2001 to 2008. "Postcards" serves as the first part of a diptych titled "Postcards and Report on the situation of asylum seekers in Republic of Slovenia, January 2008 - August 2009." The film analyzes how the production and montage of these images contribute to the criminalization and victimization of migrants. It reflects on the public representation of this group during a critical period in Slovenia's history.
