Nord Cross Production is a film and video production company founded in 2000 by Igor Zupe and Sašo Podgoršek, who first met as students at AGRFT in Ljubljana in the mid-1980s. They have since produced and directed numerous documentaries, music videos, art films and commercials, although by no means all of this work has arisen under the Nord Cross banner, which is carried by Zupe alone. Both separately and as Nord Cross, the two directors are perhaps best known for their long-standing association with Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), which has yielded a number of important documents on the careers of Laibach and Irwin in particular.


Zupe's earliest NSK-affiliated work was a short documentary film, Lepota in narod (Beauty and the Nation, 1986), produced as part of his studies at AGRFT. This was an attempt to embody the Irwin group's concept of the Heimat film and explore how film symbolism can present and explore notions of home and homeland. Zupe provided a more extended, retrospective meditation on the group's work in Ženini (Bridegrooms, 2008), co-produced by RTV Slovenia and Studio Maj, which followed the artists as they exhibited their work around Europe between 2003 and 2007. Podgoršek's connections with NSK have been more explicitly with Laibach: Divided States of America (2005) was a documentary record of Laibach's 2004 North American tour, and he has, over the years, become more or less the in-house director of Laibach's music videos.
