Slovenian Film Fund is a public fund established in 1994 by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for the purpose of implementing the National cultural programme in the sphere of film. As such it supports Slovene film production, post production and film distribution and it organises film festivals and grants awards for outstanding achievements in Slovene cinema. Founds are distributed trough different public competitions that are covering film production, project development, script development, blow-ups and activities.



Funding

The majority of current Slovene film production is facilitated by the Fund. Since 2000 56 feature films were produced with the support of Slovenian Film Found (majority or partial founding) and among them 13 were international co-productions (mostly made in collaboration with producers from neighbouring countries like Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The Fund seeks to encourage long-term planning and facilitates film production co-funded by the national budget and facilitates the presentation and marketing of Slovene film, both at home and abroad. One of its main tasks is also to promote the development of scriptwriting (through public competitions, workshops and meetings). Next to that it also plans and implements co-operation with foreign non-governmental film associations, follows conditions in the cinema network (and, if necessary, adopts and carries out measures to rectify or improve them) and encourages the offer and the distribution of art films, and carries out various other tasks related to film in Slovenia.

Each year the Fund organises a public competition for film production that includes feature-length and short fiction films, documentaries, experimental and animated films. Initially a small amount of money is assigned to selected producers to develop the financial and technical structures of their projects, shooting scripts or screenplays, then the projects are realised according to the proposed financial schedule. There is also an annual public competition for events, meetings and educational projects in the field of cinema. A pre-selection for financial support is made by expert programme committees, while the final decision is made by a Supervisory Board. Proposals for the financing or co-financing of programmes or projects in the field of cinema from public funds may be submitted by individuals and legal entities entered in the Register of Creators of Cultural Programmes at the ministry competent for culture. A film producer not registered for the performance of film production activities in the Republic of Slovenia may shoot films in the Republic of Slovenia in collaboration with a Slovene producer.
