Final dance sequence for Azra filmed at the roundabout between Stožice and Žale
More than 270 people and groups came together yesterday, 12 July 2026, to take part in one of the most ambitious scenes in the upcoming feature film Azra.
The roundabout between Stožice and Žale was temporarily closed at intervals for the filming of the film’s final dance sequence. The shoot involved 11 actors, 11 professional dancers and more than 250 additional dancers and extras, who joined the production following a public call from the filmmaking team.
Performers of all generations danced their way into the roundabout on bicycles, scooters and skateboards, as well as in cars and aboard a bus. Dressed in colourful costumes and carrying bright umbrellas, they helped create one of the film’s central sequences — a celebration of life, connection and the courage to begin again, expressed through music and dance.
Bringing the sequence to life required several months of preparation and close coordination between the directing, production, choreography and traffic management teams. With a large number of performers, vehicles and choreographed movements, combined with the complexity of filming on a public road, it was one of the most logistically demanding shooting days of the entire production.
Volunteers also played an important role in creating the sequence. Their participation gave the final scene the authentic energy and atmosphere of a real crowd.
Filming of Azra is continuing according to schedule. The summer shoot is taking place at various locations in Ljubljana and Vipava, while the winter filming period will follow in November and December.
