›3‹ ›INTRODUCTION‹

Many circumstances suggest that 2011 is a year open- ing brand new perspectives for the Slovak audiovisual industry. At the beginning of this century and this millennium, publishing a brochure like this made little sense, sin- ce the number of new independent films could be counted on the fingers of one, maybe two hands and

‹ the funds for the support of independent cinema and audiovisual production equaled the value of the budgets of one or two unde- manding features, i.e. one or perhaps two million Euros. And then, what would such a handbook be good for when Slovakia would not take part in any major market such as Marché du Film in Cannes, EFM in Berlin, or AFM in Los Angeles and there was little interest in new Slovak films and the possibility of shooting films in Slovakia? Today, the situation is completely different and it has become quite natural to introduce at prestigious European markets and festivals dozens of new projects of all genres and promote opportunities for coproduction and shooting movies on Slovak locations. For us, it is a great satisfaction to say that such a change happened thanks to the Slovak Audiovisual Producers’ Association [SAPA] in collaboration with the Slovak Film Institute and with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. Similarly satisfactory for SAPA is the fact that in comparison with the beginning of the century, in 2010 the primary public support for the development, production, and distribution of Slovak films increased ten, even twenty times. So what is it that happened in 2010 to such effect? slovak films 2009–2011 slovak ›

›4‹ Many years of conceptual, research, legislative, and strategic activities of Slovak producers and filmmakers brought on a major systemic change of the method of financial support of Slovak audiovisual industry, mainly: a) the establishment of the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, b) the ratification of the Agreement between the state and the public television about the financial support of independent production.

Even though previously, Slovak films had been made in a lot more difficult conditions, the contents of this brochure document a chan- ge in terms of quantity as well as quality in comparison with the early 2000s. We recorded a boost of interest among Slovak audiences in Slovak films made for the cinemas and we have seen an increased number of international coproduction projects, presentations and awards of Slovak films at prominent festivals in the world [Cannes, Berlin, Karlovy Vary IFFs]. The ambition of this publication is not only to offer better orientation in the new situation of Slovak film industry but also to express our belief that the substantial quantitative change in the possibilities of financing Slovak films and audiovisual productions will soon reflect in new projects that, thanks to their quality and value, will bring positive feedback. And so, let me express my thanks to you all who are opening this publication and showing your interest in and liking of Slovak cinema ›

and the Slovak film industry, and I am looking forward to our meetings in the future. introduction

›6‹ ›SLOVAKIA‹

Slovakia is a small country in the heart of Europe. After a long period of common history shared with Hungary within the Austro–Hungarian Empire, followed by the common state of Czechs and Slovaks – Czechoslovakia, the Slovak Republic became an independent state in January 1993 and joined the European Union in May 2004. It borders on Austria, the other three Visegrad countries: Czech Republic, Hun- gary and Poland, and the Ukraine. Except for the sea, one would find almost everything here for travelling, making business and, of course, filmmaking. Slovakia has a moderate climate with characteristic changes of season. Danubian Lowlands spreading in the south of the country cover 11 % of the territory. They are the driest and warmest areas of Slovakia. Mountains cover the north-western and northern parts of the country, namely, the Carpathian Mountains with the High Tatras as the highest alpine range and Gerlachovský štít [2.655 m] the highest peak. Two of numerous Slovak caves are included in the UNESCO list of the world’s cultural and natural heritage. The Danube is Slovakia’s most significant and main navigable river connecting the capital city Bratislava with Vienna and Budapest. The longest river is the Váh with 406 km. The Bodrog river represents also the lowest point of the country. Slovakia is famous for its wide variety and huge number of castles and chateaus representing different historical periods and styles. The Spiš Castle, one of the largest castle compounds in Europe, also belongs to UNESCO sites. The Bratislava Castle, Devín Castle, Červený ›

kameň Castle, Čachtice ruins, are just a few of Slovakia’s popular shooting locations. slovakia Bratislava is the capital of the Slovak Republic and the major city of the country. With its importance, size, history and architecture, it complements the most significant capitals of the region, Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Alongside a wide range of possibilities, with its rich natural, historical and cultural heritage, Slovakia offers its visitors an especially warm welcome from the locals. They probably won’t let you go unless they make you taste their delicious wine, strong liquor or some unique kinds of sheep cheese. ‹
