Alexandra Strelková The individual chapters of SFG 2006 provide basic data and Slovak Film Institute – National Cinematographic Centre a selection of geographic and economic indicators about the Slovak Republic. In addition to the well-defined tables con- taining figures on the development of Slovak film production, distribution and the conditions of the cinema network in 1993 – 2004, the publication presents a list of films produced in the last three years, overview of international productions shot at locations in the Slovak Republic, as well as a wide-ranging list of projects being currently prepared by the Slovak independent producers. Many of them are projects of international co-production and are expected to bring success at the European market if not in the wider world.

In addition, Slovak Film Guide presents a selection of relevant producers, distributors, films festivals, film schools and institutions, as well as professional associations, helps learn more about the structure of organizations active in the field of audiovision in Slovakia. The full and up-dated list with de- scription of the activities is available at the web site of the Audiovisual Information Centre of SFI www.aic.sk.

We consider it important to note that despite the long com- mon Czecho-Slovak history in former Czechoslovakia, Slovak cinematography has been developing independently for a decade only. Although the conditions for cinematography in Slovakia are by far not satisfactory, it has achieved several accomplishments.
