Most Slovene film makers are trained at the Department of Film and Television, Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) of the University of Ljubljana, although several film directors were trained at the FAMU Academy in Prague. FAMU also offers training courses in puppetry (eg Teatro matita), film production, film camera and photography.

As AGRFT teaches only scriptwriting theory, affording no opportunities for practical writing, the Myra Locatelli Cultural Association has initiated the annual Show Your Tongue International School of Scriptwriting to fill the gap in the market. Another school organising workshops related to film is the PoEtika Film School. Mention should also be made of the Film Programme, Public Fund for Cultural Activities and Luksuz Production, DZMP from Krško - the latter has organised numerous workshops within the Kino OTOK - Isola Cinema Festival.

At present film history and film theory is only offered as a part of the Sociology programme at the Department of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, although the abundance of film publications in Slovenia (cf the output of the Research and Publishing Department, Slovenian Cinematheque, Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis, Ljubljana or UMco) might suggest more extensive training provision. The gap is filled with seminars like the Autumn Film School, International Colloquium of Film Theory. Film education is also offered informally through lectures and discussions organised around film screenings at venues such as Cankarjev dom Cultural and Congress Centre, Film Programme and Kinodvor Cinema . Last but not the least, the Visuality Summer School organised by the Audiovisual Laboratory, Institute of Slovene Ethnology in Nova Gorica presents an important documentation method learning opportunity for those studying humanities.
