Ester Ivakič works as a director, scriptwriter and editor and has so far created a number of short films, music videos, and animations. She graduated in Digital Media and Practices from the University of Nova Gorica’s School of Arts with her short film Srdohrd (2016), for which she received a Special Jury Mention at the Festival of Slovenian Film. She made a short film Assunta (2018) for her master’s degree in Film Direction at the University of Ljubljana’s AGRFT.

Temporama was established in 2013 in order to provide support and opportunities for the new generation of up-and-coming Slovenian film-makers. Since then it has produced a number of short and experimental films, music videos, and web series, such as the 2015 hit Paired Up, created by Luka Marčetić. In 2018, the company’s first feature film Consequences, written and directed by Darko Štante, premiered at Toronto IFF, which was followed by considerable festival and distribution success both at home and abroad. With a stable production output and a number of projects currently in various stages of development, Temporama continues its mission of producing brand new works by young and exciting authors.
