Documentary movie

Science and Technology

In the documentary #hekerji.si, I shared my journey, starting from my early days as a young hacker in Slovenia. The film captures the evolution of the Slovenian hacking community over the past two decades, diving into the stories and people who shaped it. My identity was concealed due to my work at the time with the Jozef Stefan Institute (JSI), and in the movie, I’m credited as “BlackyVIP.” You can watch the documentary, with English subtitles.
