The Viba Film Studio as we know it today was established in 1994 by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia as a state institution which operates as the national technical film foundation. In a way one could say that it's history is longer (at least from 1956 when Viba film production company was established) as it existed already before but under (more or less) different names and under a different organisational structure. Today it is involved in the production and/or post-production of the majority of Slovene films included in the National Film Programme, but it also operates on a strictly commercial basis (international co-productions, commercials, etc.). Viba also co-operates in student productions at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT), both during the shooting of films and the postproduction.

Historical Overview

Continuous film production in Slovenia started just after the second world war. There were some minor production companies (like the Sava Film established in 1927 or the Emona Film established in 1939) even before that, producing nearly exclusively just short films - with the exception of two feature length films, a kind of alpine drama with documentary inserts called Triglavske strmine (The Slopes of Triglav, 1932) and the semi documentary semi-fiction film V kraljestvu Zlatoroga (In the Realm of Goldenhorn, 1931) - but the basics for a proper national film industry (studio, production and distribution company) were built up just later, in 1946. In that year the production company Triglav Film (that also had its technical film foundation) and the distribution company Vesna film were established. In 1956 the decision to separate the production from the technical foundation came: the film production Triglav Film

Originally established in 1955 as a subsidiary of the Serbian Society of Film Artists. It functioned both as an independent film production company and as an additional production house to the original Triglav Film, which had been operational since 1946.

Up to the end of 1955 its film studio was located at Zrinjskega 9 in Ljubljana, occupying government premises in the grounds of St. Joseph's Church. After denationalisation in 1996, new premises were built for Viba in Ljubljana's Stegne industrial zone, with facilities for film production, post-production and the administration of the public institution taking up nearly 10,000 square metres of space. Viba Film Studio acquired its status as a national technical foundation in 1994, the same year as the Slovene Film Fund was founded.

The Viba budget is maintained on the basis of price lists and lists of film services which producers define precisely when their projects are accepted into the programme of the Slovene Film Fund. On the basis of a similar agreement, Viba also co-operates in student productions at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT), both in the shooting of films and during post-production.
