Film education and research

The Department of Film and Television of the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) was founded in 1963. The Department offers courses in film directing, television directing, film history, film theory, camera, editing and script writing. During the academic year, students pursue practical study assignments – each student shoots one short film and two short television dramas (on 16 mm film support or on video). Students also carry out a number of exercises in film and television directing, cinematography, and editing.

Solafilma.si (Film School) is a website established in 2017 by Slovenian Art Cinema Association as part of its Film Elementary School project, together with the Slovenian Cinematheque, and its project Understanding the Film. Both projects are part of the platform Development of Innovative Learning Environments and Flexible Forms of Learning for Raising General Competences in the field of culture, prepared by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Social Fund.

The website offers a wealth of training material for elementary and secondary school professionals, videos of training courses, professional materials, a movie base and movie glossary, and a browser for film education providers who carry out film education activities throughout Slovenia.
