Screenings of ten short films presented by the Festival of Slovenian Film at the 25th Croatian Film Days
The Festival of Slovenian Film is the main yearly event for Slovene cinema and as such it is a meeting point for everybody who is concerned with it: that is, for Slovene film professionals and the general public, as well as for film experts and professionals from abroad (journalists, scholars, producers, distributors and buyers). During the festival, conferences on a topical issue related to film such as film production, funding, acting, scriptwriting, or international links and foundations are organised, as well as presentations of different projects related to Slovene cinema (DVDs, books, web pages ...). On each festival day, after the morning screenings, press conferences are organised where journalists and the general public can meet with directors, producers, actors and other members of the casts of films presented in the programme.
Films that are selected for the festival are divided into two main sections: the competition programme and the accompanying programme. Films selected for the competition programme are in the running for the Vesna Award (named after the Slovene 1954 film classic Vesna made by František Čap), bestowed by the festival's five-member jury in 17 different categories. Other festival awards are: the Metod Badjura Award for lifetime achievement, named after the first Slovene film director of photography Metod Badjura and bestowed by the Association of Slovene Film Workers; the Kodak Award for best cinematography; the FIPRESCI Slovenia Award for Best Picture bestowed by a three-member jury of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI), Slovenia. Awards are also given by various other associations and companies and by Stop Media magazine.
