The Slovene Film Fund, founded in 1994, is responsible for allocating subsidies. Half of the fund's financial resources are guaranteed by the state and the other half is obtained from film distribution. The Film Fund places emphasis on products intended for presentation 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.

There are more than 30 production companies in Slovenia, and films are screened in around 90 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 hosts many international guests and has published several books on scriptwriting, while the Research and Publishing Department, Slovenian Cinematheque prepares new translations and original works every year. The monthly EKRAN, Magazine for Film and Television organises the Autumn Film School, International Colloquium of Film Theory, an international film theory and criticism seminar in Ljubljana, and publishes the lectures.

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 national budget. It aims to collect, preserve, systemise, catalogue and present museum materials relating to the history of film 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 modest film collection of classic and contemporary world film masterpieces and to provide Slovene subtitles. The most precious prints in Slovene collections are undoubtedly those which belong to the three great discoveries of the Slovenian Cinematheque. The first is the only 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 (currently closed!) Ljubljana acquired a new art cinema venue. First under the jurisdiction of the Slovenian Cinematheque, since summer 2008 the Kinodvor is run by Ljubljana Urban Municipality. Kinodvor Cinema distributes its programme to a network of public cinemas in Slovene towns (Izola, Maribor, Novo Mesto, Sežana, Velenje, 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) are also important film makers and co-producers. During the 1980s and 1990s several production houses were established by the film makers themselves, including Bindweed Soundvision by Franci Slak, 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 and Filmogradnja Production by actor Ludvik Bagari.

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.
