Lilijana Nedič, Head of Museum Department







The Slovenian Cinematheque Museum Department houses a collection of posters, leaflets, publications, photography, drawings and other museum objects related to Slovene film. The department initiated the Ita Rina Museum at Škratelj Homestead in Divača, and has been collaborating with the Divača municipality to expand it into the Museum of Slovenian Film Actors.

Four sculptures – two flower pots and two busts of Bacchus – created in 1915 by the world-renown film-maker Fritz Lang (1890–1976) undoubtedly represent the highlights of the collection. In 2008 the sculptures were presented at the exhibition Fritz Lang en Escultura in La Coruña, Spain, revealing the importance of sculpture in Lang's films.

Collections

The Slovenian Cinematheque inherited its collection related to Slovene film history from the Slovene Theatre and Film Museum, which was split between the National Theatre Museum of Slovenia and the Slovenian Cinematheque during the 1990s.

Next to a rich collection of posters, publications, and photography the Slovenian Cinematheque Museum Department houses some other museum objects related to the Slovene film history.

Fritz Lang's sculptures were discovered in the 1980s in Slovenia, and are considered his only preserved fine arts work. Lang, who enrolled in architecture and painting studies in Vienna and Paris in his youth, tried his hand at the local pottery workshop in Ljutomer, Eastern Slovenia, where he attended school for reserve officers during World War I. The young artist and his sculpture work are documented on a photograph signed by Lang and sent from Vienna to his Ljutomer host, the lawyer Dr. Karol Grossmann (1864–1929), who pioneered Slovene moving images in 1904.

Exhibitions and publishing

In addition to smaller exhibitions of documents and objects from the collections, the museum department presents small displays accompanying film festivals or co-operates with museum institutions abroad.

Several catalogues and other publications have been prepared in co-operation with the Slovenian Cinematheque Research and Publishing Department, for example, the exhibition catalogue Fritz Lang – Sculpture / Cinema in the Slovene Painting of the Twenties, presented in 2004 at the A+A Gallery, Venice.

Ita Rina Museum

The department initiated the Ita Rina Museum at Škratelj Homestead in Divača, and is collaborating with the Divača municipality to expand it into the Museum of Slovenian Film Actors.
