Films and documentaries

Some of the more notable recent films by Studio Virc deal with mountains, and two of them – one about a female climber from pre-WWII years, another about the Slovenian Mountain Rescue Service – garnered them multiple prizes at the International Festival of Mountain Film. Two other similarly themed documentaries are Aurora Polaris (2012), a film about an Alaska climbing expedition, and Crescent Above Edelweiss (2013), which deals with a mosque built during WWI in a small alpine village called Log pod Mangartom.

Many of their works, including the documentaries Vojne igre (War Games, 2012) and Optimisti (Optimists, 2015), were co-produced with Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia).

Houston, We Have a Problem!

In 2012, Studio Virc edited a short teaser for a documentary about a supposed Yugoslavian space programme, sold to the United States in order for them to be able to land on the moon. Rather creative with facts and reality, the teaser became a viral hit on YouTube and its success enabled them to produce Houston, We Have a Problem!, a tongue-in-cheek mix of a documentary and a feature film.

Created as an international co-production with RTV Slovenia, Nukleus Film (SI), Sutor Kolonko (HR), WDR (DE) and HBO Europe, the film premiered in April 2016 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
