[[Slovenian Art Cinema Association]] unites the [[:Category:Cinemas|cinemas and other screening halls]] that promote high-quality and art film round Slovenia. Its goal is to ease and to improve the working conditions of its members, to help them in acquiring the proper technical equipment, to improve the circulation of important information, and to stimulate national and international collaboration. The association promotes the digitalisation of cinemas and suggests some practical solutions (in accordance with the Europa Cinemas guidelines). It also organises meetings and lectures.

== Background ==

[[Slovenian Art Cinema Association]] was established in November 2009 (formally in April [[established::2010]]). 
It was the second attempt to bring together Slovene art cinemas; the first was done in 2003 when the [[Kinodvor Cinema]] reopened its door as an art cinema in close cooperation with the [[Slovenian Cinematheque]]) and to facilitate their activity.

== Members ==

27 cinemas or screening halls have joined the association: [[Art kino Odeon Izola]], [[Portorož Auditorium]], [[Nova Gorica Arts Centre]], Kinogledališče Tolmin, [[Kosovel Culture House Sežana]], [[Kino Pivka]], [[Film Theatre Idrija]], [[Ivan Cankar Institute Vrhnika|Ivan Cankar Culture House Vrhnika]], [[Franc Bernik Culture House, Domžale]], Kino Dobrepolje, [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre|Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana]], [[Kinodvor Cinema]], [[Sora Cinema, Škofja Loka]], [[Linhart Hall, Radovljica]], DPD Svoboda Žiri, [[Slovenj Gradec Culture House|Kino Slovenj Gradec]], [[Kino Velenje]], [[Krško Culture House]], Institute for Education and Culture Črnomelj, [[Delavski dom Zagorje Cultural Centre|Kino Zagorje]], [[Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre]], [[Art kino Metropol Celje]], Šmarje pri Jelšah Cinema ([[Šmarje pri Jelšah Library]]), Kino Rogaška Slatina, Kino Slovenske Konjice ([[Slovenske Konjice Public Library]]), [[Kino Udarnik Maribor]], and [[Ptuj City Cinema]].

== International projects and networking ==

The art cinemas in Izola, Ljubljana (Kinodvor), Domžale, Celje and Ptuj serve as one of the dislocated units for the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Namely, during ''IFFR Live'' a few films premiere simultaneously in over 45 cinemas throughout 17 countries. Audiences can communicate with the cast and crew in Rotterdam via Twitter using #livecinema.

19 of the cinemas are members of the Europa Cinemas network.
