Cultural cooperation
In 1993, the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and the Government of the Republic of France on Cooperation in the Fields of Culture, Education, Science and Technology was signed.
Slovenian artists are present in France on a regular basis. Artists are invited to the Paris Salons or residencies at the Cité internationale des arts, where there is also a Slovenian studio. The head of the artistic and cultural programme at this significant institution is Nataša Petrešin Bachelez, an international curator from Slovenia. The most outstanding presentation of Slovenian art in France remains the large exhibition of Slovenian impressionists at the Petit Palais in 2013.
The poster of the exhibition Slovene Impressionists and Their Time at the Petit Palais in Paris, co-organised by the National Gallery of Slovenia, 2013.
Musicians of all genres are regular guests at various French festivals. Among others, conductor Martina Batič led the choir of the French National Radio between 2018 and 2022. The Perpetuum Jazzile choir held a solo concert in Paris in 2016, and Vita Mavrič and Jani Kovačič interpreted Vitomil Zupan's Songs from Prison poetry hosted by the Patronage Laique Jules Vales Cultural Centre.
Slovenian design was presented and noticed at several editions of the Maison et Objet, a major French trade fair for interior design. In 2021, a comprehensive selection of Slovenian designers entitled Future of Living was featured as part of Paris Design Week.
In October 2022, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Jože Plečnik's birth, the Embassy organised at the UNESCO House in Paris an exhibition of Canadian photographer Geoffrey James entitled Social spaces - Jože Plečnik in Ljubljana. In 2016, Slovenian conceptual artist Marko Pogačnik was named UNESCO Artist for Peace for his contribution to healing the Earth. In 2017, he exhibited at the Musee Zadkin and lectured at the Beaux Arts de Paris. He has had several books translated into French, and his geoculture has taken hold in France, where several working groups operate.
The Department of Slovenian Language operates at the INALCO - the College of Languages, where it is possible also to pursue a PhD in the Slovenian language and culture. Other activities include a lectureship, regular exchanges of translation studies students, and cultural events. In November 2023, the poet and translator Boris A. Novak was invited.
Film
In autumn 2022, the Embassy, in cooperation with the Slovenian Film Center, organised the first Days of Slovenian Film in France. The 4-day festival in Paris presented five feature films and four short films, emphasising female production.
In 2023, Urška Djukić received the Cesar, France's highest film award, for her animated film Grandma's Sexual Life.
Three films were regularly distributed in France: Slovenian Girl, Class Enemy, and Consequences, while films by Slovenian producers regularly participate in various festivals in France.
In May 2011, Slovenian and French ministers responsible for culture signed an agreement on cooperation in film production. The agreement clearly defines conditions and ways of cooperation in film production as well as film education and information exchange. Under the new agreement, films with 20% Slovenian funding would be eligible for all benefits that French films enjoy.
Literature
In 2019, Slovenian literature was presented comprehensively for the first time at the Livre Paris fair in Paris, the event being coorganised by the Embassy and the Slovenian Book Agency with several accompanying cultural events and round tables.
Among the best-known Slovenian writers in France is Boris Pahor, who has a special status as a camp survivor and is considered the "beginner of autofiction" in the university circles. French director Fabienne Issartel made a feature-length biopic entitled Boris Pahor - A Portrait of a Free Man. Drago Jančar, Slovenian novelist who has had numerous translations published, is regularly reviewed in the press, and invited to fairs and festivals. In 2014, he received the award for best foreign novel for "To noč sem jo videl" (I Saw Her That Night). In 2023, his translator, Andrea Luck Gaye, was awarded the highest prize for translation work by the French Ministry of Culture. A prominent name is Brina Svit, who has received several awards, including the French Academy Award. Dušan Šarotar was the guest of honor at the largest literary festival Etonnants voyageurs in Saint Malo for his Panorama. Slavoj Žižek, philosopher and cultural theorist, is also widely translated. With the publication of Feri Lainšček's Halgato into French (2017), the synergy between the publishing house Phébus and Slovenian institutions led to a successful realization of a trip of French journalists to Prekmurje.
Translator and publisher Zdenka Štimac founded the publishing house Editions franco-slovènes in Paris, its rich catalogue includes also a bibliophile edition of Martin Krpan, some novels by Miha Mazzini and Marko Sosič, poetry by Srečko Kosovel, Tomaž Šalamun, Svetlana Makarovič, etc.
Only two Slovenian poets have appeared at the prestigious Maison de la Poesie in Paris, Dane Zajc (2005) and Aleš Šteger (2024). The latter, together with translator Guillaume Métayer, received the Alain Bosquet Prize 2024 for the poetry collection Au-delà du ciel sous la terre / "Nad nebom pod zemljo" (Above the Sky Under the Earth). The poetry collection translated into French was published in 2024 by Gallimard.
In 2016, an anthological evening of Slovenian poetry was organised at the Entrepôt in Paris by Liza Japelj Carone, and the poetry turned into a song was interpreted by Katja Šulc.
Slovenian poets are regularly invited to the Marché de la poésie in Paris by the Antenne Slovène de la Maison de la Poésie, a house of Slovene poetry, which was opened in 2011, now settled in Charleville-Mezieres. The centre is run by Mateja Bizjak Petit, a Slovenian poet, translator and puppeteer living in France.
