The films explicitly produced by Zupe under the Nord Cross banner continue to focus on art and music. The first of these, ''It's Alive'' (1997), was a record of Laibach's ''NATO'' tour in North America and the opening of the virtual NSK embassy in Sarajevo. ''Time for a New State'' (2013), produced in collaboration with Irwin, documented the first congress of [[NSK State]] citizens in Berlin, while ''Music is the Art of Time 3'' (2018) addressed Laibach's hugely controversial 1985 debut album, and won the audience award for best music film at the 2018 Soundwatch Berlin Music Film Festival. | The films explicitly produced by Zupe under the Nord Cross banner continue to focus on art and music.

Zupe's earliest NSK-affiliated work was a short documentary film, Lepota in narod (Beauty and the Nation, 1986), produced as part of his studies at AGRFT. This was an attempt to embody the Irwin group's concept of the Heimat film and explore how film symbolism can present and explore notions of home and homeland. Zupe provided a more extended, retrospective meditation on the group's work in Ženini (Bachelors, 2008), co-produced by RTV Slovenia and Studio Maj, which followed the artists as they exhibited their work around Europe between 2003 and 2007. Podgoršek's connections with NSK have been more explicitly with Laibach. In 2005 he directed Divided States of America, a documentary record of Laibach's 2004 North American tour, and has, over the years, become more or less the in-house director of Laibach's music videos.
Nord Cross productions
The films explicitly produced by Zupe under the Nord Cross banner continue to focus on art and music. The first of these, It's Alive (1997), was a record of Laibach's NATO tour in North America and the opening of the virtual NSK embassy in Sarajevo. Time for a New State (2013), produced in collaboration with Irwin, documented the first congress of NSK State citizens in Berlin, while Music is the Art of Time 3 (2018) addressed Laibach's hugely controversial 1985 debut album, and won the audience award for best music film at the 2018 Soundwatch Berlin Music Film Festival.
Two shorter Laibach films followed in 2019: a Nord Cross-produced official video for 'So Long. Farewell' from the band's 2018 album The Sound of Music, and '4'3" Readymade Laibach', which takes John Cage's legendary silent score as the starting point for Staragaga
