Premiere of the documentary film Punk Under Communist Regime

‘Punk Under Communist Regime’ is a documentary about the Slovenian punk scene between 1977 and 1985: the bands formed were all made up of high school students who, despite their youth, quickly began to perform and triggered a wave of repression by the communist party. While Marshall Tito was dying in Ljubljana, an outburst of incredible creativity from young people took place in Slovenia, who no longer agreed to the party's one-mindedness. While English punks gathered in pubs, Slovenian punks gathered in the city centre on Johnny Rotten Square.
