==Filmography==

The December Institute has maintained a steady schedule of productions and co-productions since its establishment, starting in 2015 with ''Luči mesta'' (City Lights, short). This was followed a year later by the well-received ''Mladi levi: polnost časa'' (Young Lions: The Fullness of Time), a documentary about the legendary 70s band, which it co-produced.

Two further shorts were produced in 2017, ''Nevidna roka Adama Smitha'' (The Invisible Hand of Adam Smith) and ''Moderne Kunst'' (Modern Art), both of which featured [[Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia)|RTV Slovenia]] as a co-producer. These were followed by the institute's biggest project up to that point, ''Dnevnik Diane Budisavljević'' (co-producer). A feature-length docudrama about the rescue of 10,000 children from the Ustashe death camps in Croatia in WW2, it was financed by the [[Slovenian Film Centre]], the national film centres of Croatia and Serbia, [[Creative Europe Desk Slovenia|Creative Europe]], and Eurimages (Council of Europe). It won a host of awards at the 2019 Pula Film Festival.
