History
The Slovenian Cinematheque was founded by decree of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on 19 August 1996. Its task is to form, keep and present its collection of world film, to exhibit artefacts which are important for the history of film and cinema, and to carry out research and publishing activity in the history of cinema.
Location
The Slovenian Cinematheque Programme Department is located next to the recently-renovated Cinematheque Theatre at Miklošičeva 28, while its Museum Department, Research and Publishing Department and Library are situated at Miklošičeva 38. The Film Archive Department and Office are located temporarily at Kvedrova 9.
Programme
The principal official tasks of the Slovenian Cinematheque are to set up and preserve a library collection of international films, including the corresponding technology for showing, preserving and processing film copies; to present a programme in its cinema based on its own resources and those of related international institutions; to collect, preserve, systemise, catalogue and present museum materials relating to the history of film and cinematography; to establish and maintain contacts with international organisations and associations; and to carry out research and publishing activities related to its basic areas of operation. It is funded from the national budget, and by donors and sponsors.
Efforts to establish a collection of works which are fundamental to the history of world cinema are ongoing; up to now the Slovenian Cinematheque has managed to collect more than 3,500 titles, mainly from the last two decades, but it still has to complete its longer-term project to build a collection of film classics. The most precious prints in the Cinematheque's collection are undoubtedly its three greatest discoveries - an original print of Franz Hofer's first film Des alters erste spuren ('The First Signs of Getting Old', 1913), the only remaining original colour print of the short film Le jongleur ('The Minstrel', Pathé, 1913) and the only surviving original print of Ernst Lubitsch's first film Als ich tot war ('When I Was Dead', 1916).
Projects
In 2003, with the support of the Cankarjev dom Cultural and Congress Centre, Film Programme, the Slovenian Cinematheque initiated the Art Kino Mreža (Art Cinema Network) project, which distributes selected high-quality films around Slovenia for screening at member cinemas. (cf. Art kino Metropol Celje, Kino Odeon Izola, Kino Udarnik Maribor, Janez Trdina Cultural Centre, Novo mesto, Sora Cinema, Škofja Loka, Slovenj Gradec Culture House, Kosovel Culture House, Sežana, and Delavski dom Zagorje Cultural Centre)
The Slovenian Cinematheque incorporates a Library and Film Archive, Museum, Programme and Research and Publishing Departments. It publishes the Kinotečnik bulletin monthly and the EKRAN, Magazine for Film and Television five times a year.
International cooperation
The Slovenian Cinematheque is a member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) and the Association des Cinematheques Européennes (ACE).
