SYNOPSIS
The idea for animation was created at the feminist assembly Feminism to the Streets, which was held in Ljubljana in 2014. On that occasion, the participants exclaimed various slogans, among them also 'Franckas Today Are Running Faster'. Francka is a character from the book "Na klancu" [On the Hill] written by Slovene modern writer Ivan Cankar. The story is well known to all the children and adults of many generations in Slovenia, e.g. she is always humiliated for being too slow to catch the carriage. In this animation "Francka" takes a different approach when coping with difficulties than in the original story. (Source: Ana Čigon)
The animation is part of 'Uncovering a Pig in a Poke' animation and video series.

NOTE: On the artist's request, the full video is not published on-line; it is kept and on view only in the DIVA Station Mediatheque at Metelkova 6, Ljubljana.
