Vodnik po ZF

Update: 23 December 2010


SF&F is a very ambiguous category which appears in many different media. In Slovenia, the literary field is the liveliest, but other SF&F themed works periodically pop up; paintings, sculptures, art installations, photographs, comics, music and other sound recordings, radio plays, films, animation, television production and, in public spaces, their manifestations in the form of exhibitions and other art events, concerts, theatre plays, puppet theatre, graffiti... Some works are authorial; many follow a literary precursor.
This list will encompass all works with notable genre motifs, themes or at least texts; eventually cult works by the most skilful authors will be emphasized.
