Recent works
In 2015, Stories from the Chestnut Woods, the debut feature by Gregor Božič received development support from the Creative Europe Media fund and, in 2016, production support from Eurimages. A co-production with the Slovene-Italian Transmedia Production House, the film is based on three short stories by Anton Chekhov, and on selected recordings of folk traditions from the border regions between Slovenia and Italy. It addresses the phenomenon of mass emigration of youth and the consequent desolation of parts of the world.
Currently in development are some other titles by young Slovene authors, among them Playing Men, a creative documentary by Matjaž Ivanišin, a co-production between Slovenia, Croatia and France.
