Slovenian Film Centre (SFC) is a public body that supports Slovene film production, post-production, and distribution. The center organises Slovenia’s main national film festival, the Festival of Slovenian Film and grants awards for outstanding achievements in Slovene cinema. It is responsible for the cultural presentation and promotion of Slovene films at home and abroad. One of its tasks is also to promote the development of scriptwriting (through public competitions, workshops and meetings).
A.A.C. Productions was founded by Slovene film maker Igor Šterk in 1993 as one of the first independent film production companies in Slovenia. Šterk's first feature Ekspres Ekspres [Gone with the train] premiered in 1997 is regarded by many as the film that marked the beginning of the renaissance of Slovene cinema in the mid-1990s. With its international success it turned the attention of the international audience towards Slovene cinema again. Ekspres Ekspres won 15 international awards at film festivals and was distributed in Germany during 1999–2000. Šterk's Ljubljana (2002) was the first Slovenian film to compete at Rotterdam, while Tuning [Uglaševanje] (2005) the Mannheim-Heidelberg winner was followed by 9:06, which was awarded also at the Alexandria Film Festival in 2010. A long feature Come Along premiered in 2016. A documentary feature Septembrska klasa was produced by A.A.C. Productions in 2019.
