Kinoatelje, the centre for audio-visual and intercultural services was established in 1977 by Darko Bratina (1942–1997) in Gorizia-Gorica, a town situated on the Italian side of the Italo-Slovene border. Bratina was a sociologist and a film critic who considered film, television and video media as some of the best means of understanding society, history and culture.
Since its establishment, Kinoatelje's main goal has been to promote intercultural dialogue, a collaboration between Italy and Slovenia, and to introduce Slovene cinema to the Italian public. Its branch office Kinoatelje Institute was established in 2000 in Nova Gorica.
Kinoatelje aims to promote scientific and professional contents and to educate schoolteachers as well. Thus, it puts forwards various professional lectures and seminars.

Dedicated to exploring and presenting various facets of mountain culture, the Mountain Film Festival was established in 2007. Since then, it has been running a strong international program that encompasses various films about mountain sports (mountaineering, mountain running, B.A.S.E jumping, etc.), different types of climbing (from bouldering to ice climbing), mountain wildlife, and the lives of indigenous mountain dwellers, among other topics. Since its inception, the festival has been led by its founder, the legendary mountaineer Silvo Karo.
Over the years, the festival has grown to the point where it is now comparable to the biggest and most important mountain film festivals worldwide. In 2010, the Mountain Film Festival became a member of the International Alliance for Mountain Film.
