Films and documentaries
Some of the more notable Studio Virc recent films are documentaries, with two of them – a film about Mira Marko Debeljak, a female climber from pre-WWII years, and another one about the Slovenian Mountain Rescue Service – garnering multiple prizes at the International Festival of Mountain Film. Two other mountains related documentaries are Aurora Polaris (2012), about an Alaska climbing expedition, and Crescent Above Edelweiss (2013), which deals with a mosque built during WWI in a small alpine town Log pod Mangartom.
Other Studio Virc works are also the documentaries Vojne igre (War Games, 2012) and Optimisti (Optimists, 2015). Mpst of these films were co-produced with Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia).
Houston, We Have a Problem!
In 2012, Studio Virc created 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. Though 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 between an international cast of partners – including Nukleus Film, Sutor Kolonko, HBO Europe, WDR and RTV Slovenia – the film will premier in April at The 2016 Tribeca Film Festival

Awards and international recognition
With its commercial services, Studio Virc is quite active abroad and has, for example, recorded a series of TV commercials to promote Egyptian tourism. Their work has been awarded at the World Media Festival in Hamburg and at the Cannes Corporate Festival.
Their documentary film 400 let iskanja (400 years of searching), directed by Haidy Kancler, was given the Audience Award at MUVI Lisboa 2015 and also gathered awards at Solo Positivo Film Festival (HR) and Balkan Film Food Festival (AL).
