Awards
Studio Arkadena has produced many award-winning short films. Its three architectural films shot between 1991 and 1993 - Architect Plečnik and Ljubljana, Plečnik's Sacral Architecture and Unfinished Works - represent the first attempts to use computer animation and composition to compare architectural ideas with reality. Once upon a Time by Andrej Verbič got a special mention at the 1990 Berlin Film Festival; Zdravko Barišič's 1997 short Balkan Roulette was a finalist in the 1998 Cannes short film official selection, and in his follow-up work My First Cut (1999) was awarded Best Short Film in the Panorama official selection at the Berlinale 2000, and also won awards at the Message to Men Film Festival in St Petersburg, at the Festival Cine dem Tetuan in Morocco and also at the film festivals in Dresden, Bordeaux and Hampton. Since that time Studio Arkadena has also produced Tiigra directed by Nataša Matjašec (2001) and Hop, Skip and Jump by Srdjan Vuletić (2000). The short fiction work (A)torsion (2002), directed by Stefan Arsenijević, received the highest award at the Festival of Slovenian Film and was also awarded the Berlin Golden Bear of 2003 and nominated for the Academy Award for Short Fiction in 2004. The short film Srce je kos mesa ('Heart is a Piece of Meat', 2003) by Jan Cvitkovič was shown at Cottbus and subsequently won Best Short Film Award at the Gijon Festival in Spain. Its most recent short film was Ohcet ('The Wedding', 2006), directed by Petar Pašić. Distribution and broadcast rights for all documentary and short films have been sold to ABC TV and SBC (Australia), Channel 4 (UK), Canal + (France) and Denmark TV.
