We Are Not a Lost Generation is a series of short documentary films presenting five young Slovenian creators: Klavdija Zupanc, an academy-trained painter, David Krevs, a custom bicycle builder, Jure Sodja, a builder of unique snowboards, and Nina Mrđenović and Jošt Bukovec, makers of useful ceramics. They make a living from their work or just an extra income in addition to their regular job. At a time when precarious jobs mean employment for the young, when the pace of life is much too quick and we are bombarded from all sides by ads telling us what things we need, though we actually need none of them, at a time when people are filled with negativism, anxiety, impatience, intolerance and so on, there are among us wonderfully inspiring creators who, with their hands, revive and continue certain crafts strongly intertwined with art and even though they would sometimes simply like to throw in the towel, they do not give up, but prove that we are not a lost generation.
