| − | + | 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 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. | |

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. | |

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 international curator from Slovenia, Nataša Petrešin Bachelez. The most outstanding presentation of Slovenian art in France remains the large exhibition of Slovenian impressionists at the Petit Palais in 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 in 2017, while Vita Mavrič and Jani Kovačič interpreted Vitomil Zupan's Songs from Prison poetry.

Three films were regularly distributed in France: Slovenian Girl, Class Enemy, and Consequences, while films by Slovene producers regularly participate in various festivals in France.
In May 2011 Slovene 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.
