 Originally established in Ljubljana in 1986 by producer Danijel Hočevar and director Damjan Kozole as part of the ŠKUC Association (the Student Cultural Centre in Ljubljana), E-motion Film became the film production company E-motion Film Ltd in 1991. Some of its films are produced under the Vertigo production label. E-motion has produced more than 30 films, including 12 short films, two documentaries, 18 full-length feature films (including one animation) and a number of video projects. Its films have been screened at more than 80 festivals around the world and have won many prizes and awards. Its most successful production, Idle Running, won more than 20 awards, while Bread and Milk was awarded with the Lion of the Future Award at the Venice Film Festival 2001.The full-length feature films produced by E-motion Film include: Usodni telefon ('The Fatal Telephone Call’, 1987) by Damjan Kozole; Remington (1988), by D Kozole; Srčna dama ('The Queen of Hearts', 1991), by Boris Jurjaševič; the feature-length documentaries The Birth of Lear (1993) by D Kozole; Carmen (1995 - Vertigo) by Metod Pevec; Stereotype (1997) by D Kozole; the feature-length animations The Socialisation of a Bull?

Kozole's latest film is a tragicomedy in which despair intertwines with humour, and optimism eventually defeats feelings of despair. Musevski as the main role actor in the 'Spare Parts' as well as in 'Bread and Milk' won several prizes. The film was presented at the Edinburgh and Dublin film festivals and distributed in British cinemas. In 2003 E-motion Film produced the Metod Pevec film Pod njenim oknom ('Under Her Window', 2003), which won an award at the Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe) and was shown at the London Film Festival. In 2004 Ruševine ('The Ruins') by Janez Burger won the 2004 Festival of Slovene Film. Its international premiere was at the international film festival in Rotterdam. In April 2005 it won the Reale Mutua Assicurazioni award at the Lecce Festival.

It also received international awards in Sarajevo, Wiesbaden and Valencia. Desperado tonic ('Desperado Tonic', 2004), a film by four young Slovene directors, was followed by several international co-productions.E-motion Film also has a history of international co-productions: in 1997 it provided production services for the co-produced Czech-Slovene documentary film Dragi mojster ('Dear Maestro') by Pavel Koutecky, dedicated to famous Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, and in 2000 it co-produced the Czech feature film Samotaři ('Loners') by David Ondriček.
