Following the success of theirs debut features Idle Running (V leru, 1999) and Bread and Milk (Kruh in mleko, 2001) Staragara was established as an independent non-profit cultural organisation in 2003 by filmmakers Janez Burger and Jan Cvitkovič. Although it is primarly focused on film production (its unorthodox films have won numerous international awards), Staragara also produces commercial spots, contemporary dance performances by the choreographer Magdalena Reiter and occasionally organises special dance events and programmes.

In 2016 Staragara co-produced Morten Traavik's Liberation Day (2016), a much lauded documentary about the Slovene rock band Laibach performing in North Korea.

Film production

The film has won many other prizes (for example, in Warsaw, Cottbus, Palić, Torino, Portorož, Khanty Mansysk, and Setubal in Portugal) and more than 20,000 viewers saw the film during regular cinematographic distribution in Slovenia. The film was co-produced by Propeler Film from Zagreb and TV Slovenia and financially supported by the Slovenian Film Centre and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia. The Association of Slovenian Filmmakers selected Gravehopping as the 2005 Slovene candidate for the Foreign Language Film Oscar award (announced by the Association of Slovenian Filmmakers). [

It was co-produced by The Chimney Pot (Sweden), Cineworks (Finnland), Fastnet Films (Ireland) and Film i Väst (Sweden) and financially supported by the Euroimages Fund of the Council of Europe, shot in Slovenia and Ireland.It won several national (Vesna Award's for best feature film, director, music, sound, make-up and supporting actor, and Kodak Award for best cinematography) and international awards (Best Actors Award at the Pula FIlm Festival and Best Artistic Achievement Award at the Alexandria International Film Festival).

Staragara produced also several short and medium lenght films, fiction and documentaries, like Burger's On the Sunny Side of Alps [Na sončni strani Alp], a short fiction film from 2007, and Sonja, TV film from the same year, Cvitkovič's short fiction films I Know [Vem] from 2007, This is earth, my brother [To je zemlja, brat moj] from 2009, Hundred dogs [Sto psov] from 2012, and his television documentary Total Gambit [Totalni gambit], or Zoran Grabarac's documentary 300 Bears [300 kosmatih].

One of the most recent film projects produced by Staragara is also the TV documentary portrait of the Slovene painter Jože Tisnikar, Man With the Raven [Mož s krokarjem] made by Sonja Prosenc. It was shot in co-production with TV Slovenia and zavod Maribor 2012 for Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012.
