Career

Naberšnik has done much work for television, as well as having made a few films.[1]

His debut feature film was Rooster's Breakfast (2007), which was the "third most-watched Slovenian film of all time",[1] won the CBS Critics Award at the South East European Film Festival in Los Angeles, and was the official Slovenian entry for the Academy Awards that year.[2]

Naberšnik's second feature film,[2] Shanghai Gypsy (2012), which screened at the Cleveland International Film Festival in the US in April 2013, was based on the novel The Untouchables (Nedotakljivi[4]) by Feri Lainšček, telling a multi-generational story of the Slovenian Romani Mirga family.

It was described by Elizabeth Kerr in The Hollywood Reporter as "a timely meditation on the futility of war and its ability to dehumanize and degrade".[5]
