Tales from the Magic Garden: Exhibition

Slovenian Cinematheque Exhibition Venue (during Animateka: Mon-Sun, 10 am – 8 pm)
(Miklošičeva 28, Ljubljana)
30/9/2025–28/6/2026

To mark the premiere screening of the animated feature film Tales from the Magic Garden, a behind-the-scenes exhibition opened in the Slovenian Cinematheque Exhibition Venue.

Taking you through the entire creative process of the film’s making, the display reveals the techniques, phases, and tricks of puppet animation—from writing the script to creating the sets and puppets, recording the image and sound, making special effects, and finally, editing. You can take a close look at masterfully crafted sets, puppets, props, artwork, and the plans that set all this in motion. In video interviews, you can learn about all the key profiles involved in creating an animated film, including lesser-known ones such as animator, voice actor, and set designer.

The exhibition includes many interactive elements that are a fun and creative hands-on way to learn about and explore the secrets of animation. At the end, you are in for a special treat—a chance to enter the fascinating world of Tales from the Magic Garden, where you can become part of an animated adventure yourself.

The exhibition is a co-production of the Slovenian Cinematheque, the Slovene Animated Film Association, the ZVVIKS Institute, and Animateka.
