Film festivals in Slovenia

The Slovene Film Fund organises the annual Festival of Slovene Film in Celje and co-funds accompanying seminars. The Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe) and the International Documentary Film Festival are organised by the Cankarjev dom Cultural and Congress Centre. The Cineast Cultural and Artistic Association ran up to 2006 an annual Festival of Independent Film and Video. The Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival has run since 1984 and is the oldest gay and lesbian film festival in Europe. New festivals emerge constantly - recent examples include the Politically Incorrect Film Festival (PI-FF) at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone and the Kino OTOK - Isola Cinema Festival, which focus on the cinemas of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The most important regional initiative with international scope is the Grossmann Film and Wine Festival organised in Eastern Slovenia.

Presentations of Slovene film abroad

The first extensive retrospective of Slovene short film abroad after 1995 was at the 11th Siena Short Film Festival in 2006. Classical retrospectives of Slovene film have also taken place in Barcelona, New York, Rome, Stockholm and Cannes. In 2006 Slovene film was shown at the Bradford Film Festival, in Katowice, Valencia and Helsinki and at the Slovene Film Week in Budapest.

The Slovene motion picture industry was presented and received awards at various international film festivals, including the Berlin Film Festival and the Austrian National Film Festival in Graz. Classical retrospectives of Slovene film have also taken place in Barcelona, New York, Rome, Stockholm and Cannes. In 2006 the Slovene Film Fund organised presentations of Slovene film in Bradford, Katowice, Budapest, Siena, Helsinki and Milano.

A major presentation of Slovene films for the professional public took place at the Cannes 2004 Marché du Film, where for the first time a dedicated Slovene stand presented seven films and a few of Slovene film festivals. The films represented a variety of genres: Peterka: The Year of Decision, a feature documentary film by Vlado Škafar; Suburbs, the film debut by Vinko Möderndorfer; Ruins, the second feature film by Janez Burger; Cheese and Jam, which was hugely popular in Slovenia and deals with stereotypes of Slovenes and Bosnians; In the Mountains, a film by Miha Hočevar; the colourful historical drama The Portrait of a Poet with a Double by Franci Slak; and Beneath Her Window, a film by writer and director Metod Pevec which was a great success of the 2003 Festival of Slovene Film. The most recent presentation of Slovene fims by the Slovene Film Fund at Cannes Film Market 2007 included Short Circuits by Janez Lapajne, Mokuš by Andrej Mlakar, Teah by Hanna W Slak, Estrelita by Metod Pevec, L… Like Love by Janja Glogovac and the Slovene-Swedish co-production Night by Miha Knific.

Festival touring of Slovene films

  • The film Spare Parts by Damjan Kolzole was shown at the 4th Belfast Film Festival of 2004, continued to the 'Vilnius Spring' in Lithuania, and was also presented at the Philadelphia Film Festival. Together with Cheese And Jam, this film was also invited to a festival in Sofia.
  • Within the framework of the EU cultural programme, the films Sweet Dreams and Ekspres Ekspres were shown in Paris.
