Slovenian creative documentary cinema is increasing its visibility internationally, as well as growing its domestic audience. In the next Slovenian Film Centre’s strategic period (2020–2024), it will make one of the three central pillars of creativity in cinema (in addition to fiction and animated film). The event aims to strategically encourage the development of Slovenian documentary cinema and create the best possible conditions for its creative and production boost and international breakthrough.
International guests and Slovenian industry delegates will discuss a selection of good practice examples that sparked a creative heyday for European documentary cinema. This will provide inspiration to explore the changes and new approaches that could be applied in Slovenia, especially in creating new conditions for documentary cinema funding, filmmaker (self-)organisation and training, increasing the visibility of documentary cinema, and international positioning of Slovenian achievements.
