Yugoslav Cinematheque, November 12: Screening of "The Steam Locomotive" (1979) with a talk with the filmmaker

A steam locomotive, a railway station, and two men whose work slowly brings them together are at the heart of the 1979 short fiction film "The Steam Locomotive." At the Yugoslav Cinematheque, the film will be shown on the big screen on November 12 at 7:00 PM, followed by a conversation with Slovenian director Matjaž Žbontar, who will be present for the program. Starring Pavle Vuisić, Fabijan Šovagović, and Željko Vukmirica, the film follows a young fireman and an experienced engineer as their shared work turns into a quiet bond, while the world of steam railways fades around them. As the railway moves into a new era of technology, their journey becomes a farewell to an age.
