    UCLA Film and Television Archive, Slovenian Film Center, and the South East European Film Festival (SEE FEST) will present “Slovenia Begs to Differ,” a retrospective of the best Slovenian films from the past 60 years from September 9 through September26 at the Billy Wilder Theatre at the Hammer Museum. The retrospective is curated by Vera Mijojlic and Shannon Kelley. Special thanks to Nerina T. Kocjancic, Slovenian Film Center.
