Auteur cinema platform: viewing films at home and working in class

30 Oct 2020 - 31 Oct 2021

Otok Institute

Online

Slovenia does not have its own video-on-demand channel dedicated to art cinematography and film education, which is why Otok Institute has partnered with the national five-year programme Film Primary School, run by the Slovenian Art Cinema Network, and offered a second film as Video-On-Demand.

The Film Primary School project already has a functional website www.solafilma.si with technology that also allows them to play films. The website is intended for use by teachers and workers in their work with children from all over Slovenia.  After first arranging the documentary film Home, Sweet Home (Slovenia, 2016) to be available as VOD, we also wanted to offer one fiction film, for which Bekas by Karzan Kader was chosen, as we have already used it in Moving Cinema Young Spectators programme and its distribution in Slovenia is not available anymore. Therefore we made an agreement with international sales for the period of one year. We placed our selected film in their base of films on their website www.solafilma.si, to which registered users have access, currently more than 500 teachers from all parts of Slovenia.
