If you're looking to escape the heat this week, starting Wednesday the Walter Reade Theater will host a weeklong Slovenian film retrospective. Presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in collaboration with the Slovenian Film Fund, At the Crossroads will showcase thirteen classic and contemporary films. The series will be introduced by director Marko Nabersnik, who will also be doing a Q&A session after the screenings of his highly successful Rooster's Breakfast. Author, film writer and Slovenian scholar Joseph Valencic
will also be on hand to introduce some of the films.

At the Crossroads runs from July 16-22 at the Walter Reade Theater on 140 West 65th street in New York City.
