The Slovene Film Fund, founded in 1994, is responsible for allocating subsidies. The Film Fund places emphasis on products intended for release in cinemas and supports the production, distribution and promotion of short and full-length films, documentaries, animated films and video productions. Between 1995 and 2000 the Fund subsidised the production of 30 feature films and 56 short film projects. The recent data are available at the website of the Slovene Film Fund.

There are more than 30 production companies in Slovenia, and films are screened in around 55 cinemas. Most Slovene film makers are trained at the Department of Film and Television, Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) at the University of Ljubljana, although a number of Slovene film directors were trained at the FAMU Academy in Prague. The Show Your Tongue International School of Scriptwriting has hosted many international guests (mostly 1997-2000) and has published several books on scriptwriting, while the Research and Publishing Department, Slovenian Cinematheque has prepared new translations and original works, flourishing during the period 1996-2004. The EKRAN, Magazine for Film and Television is the only film magazine besides Premiera focusion on current cinema programme. The Autumn Film School, International Colloquium of Film Theory, an international film theory and criticism seminar in Ljubljana, has been an important educational forum with lectures published.

The Slovene Film Archives is the main institution for the storage and protection of the Slovene film heritage. It has collected and then technically and professionally processed more than 90 per cent of Slovene films. Users are obliged to pay subsequent rights. SFA joined the Association Cinematique European (ACE) in 1996 and became a full member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in 1999.

The Slovenian Cinematheque was founded in 1996 as an autonomous cultural institution and is funded by the government. It aims to collect, preserve, systemise, catalogue and present museum items relating to the history of film and world cinema and cinematography and to establish and maintain contacts with international organisations and associations. One of the most important tasks of the Slovenian Cinematheque is to enrich its collection of classic and contemporary world film masterpieces. The most precious prints in its collection are undoubtedly those which belong to the three great discoveries of the Slovenian Cinematheque. The first is the only existing original print of Ernst Lubitsch's first preserved feature Als ich tot war ('When I Was Dead', 1916), followed by Franz Hofer's first preserved film Des Alters erste Spuren ('The First Signs of Getting Old'). In addition to these two prints the Cinematheque also discovered the short film Le Jongleur ('The Jongleur', Pathé, 1913), which is the only original coloured print of this film in the world. The Cinematheque also includes a Museum Department and runs its own publishing programme.

With the opening of a renovated hall at the Kinodvor Cinema Ljubljana acquired a new art cinema venue (the only arthouse cinema hall in Ljubljana). First under the formal jurisdiction of the Slovenian Cinematheque, since summer 2008 the Kinodvor is run by Ljubljana Urban Municipality. Kinodvor Cinema distributed for some years its programme to a network of public cinemas in Slovene towns (Izola, Maribor, Novo Mesto, Slovenj Gradec and Škofja Loka) which open their halls to art cinema productions once a week.

Significant Slovene film producers include E-motion Film/Vertigo, Studio Maj, Arsmedia, A-Atalanta, Gustav Film or Forum Ljubljana. Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia) and the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) were quite important film makers and co-producers, however recently their focus has been TV film production. During the 1980s and 1990s several production houses were established by the film makers themselves, including Bindweed Soundvision by Franci Slak (1953-2007), Casablanca Productions by Boris Jurjaševic, A A C Productions by Igor Šterk, Novi val - New Wave Košak by Andrej Košak, Bela Film Ltd by Maja Weiss and more recently Staragara - Ljubljana by Janez Burger. The youngest generation initiatives include the intermedia Strup Productions and Staderzen Production by Dražen Štader.

Two film studios are indispensable for Slovene film production: the public institution Viba Film Studio and the Video Production Kregar Studio (VPK Studio). Viba Film Studios cover an area of 10,000 square metres and provide everything a filmmaker needs, including the infrastructure required for production and post-production. The centre has two film studios of 720 and 460 square metres respectively, which allow two different projects to be shot simultaneously. Alongside the film studios, the film centre has space for the construction of movie sets, dressing rooms, make-up rooms and other infrastructure needed for production. These new studios not only ensure better conditions for the work of respected Slovene artists and creators, but are also an important Slovene contribution to European film production and co-production.
