The Association of Slovene Film Workers was established in 1950. It is one of the oldest film organisations in Slovenia and it had an important role for the development in the area of cinema as it helped to found many important institutions like the Viba Film Studio and the Slovene Film Museum (today part of the Slovenian Cinematheque). The Association also organised the first yearly showcase meant for the domestic film production, that is the Week of Slovene Film (which lately became the Festival of Slovene Film). Currently it has around 200 members among film directors, directors of photography, screenwriters, producers, costume and set designers, etc. Apart from funding programmes, awards management and involvement in cultural policy it organises film evenings, film workshops and seminars.


Funding

The Association gives annual grants to prospective and established film makers. Since 2004 it has offered working stipends purchased out of the National Library compensation scheme.

Boards and awards

The Association appoints representatives to the Council of Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia) and the Boards of the Slovene Film Fund, the Slovenian Cinematheque, Viba Film Studio and the Glosa Syndicate. The Association’s members participate in expert juries of the Festival of Slovene Film, awarding the annual Metod Badjura Award for lifetime achievement in the field of film. Since 2001 the Association, together with Kolosej Cinematographers, has given the Golden Roll Award to the Slovene film which attracts more than 25,000 viewers into Slovene cinemas. The Association also co-ordinates the selection of national applicants for Academy Awards and gives proposals for the candidate for annual national Prešeren Award and Prešeren Foundation Awards and selects the national applicants for Academy Awards (OSCAR).
