Otok Cultural Institute (otok meaning "island" in Slovenian) is a non-profit cultural organisation for the development of film culture that operates in Ljubljana and Izola. It was established in 2003 to manage the first Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival. Since 2013 the institute holds a status of an institution in the field of culture working in the public interest, which is granted by the Ministry of Culture. Its main activities include: promotion of film culture, organisation of international film festival, film education workshops and lectures, active inclusion of youth and local population.

Outside the time of the festival the main activity of the Otok Cultural Institute is organising various film events and distributing films. The first film distributed by the institute was Baboussia by Russian director Lidia Bobrova, which won the Audience Award at the first Kino Otok festival of 2004. The institute's other activities involve organising and promoting cultural events with the aim of developing film culture in Slovenia.
