• Rental <strong>of</strong> film materials<br />

The archive’s material is accessible to all users from Slovenia and from<br />

abroad. It may be used for study, scientific and research activity, cultural<br />

and educational goals and for commercial purposes. Rental is carried out<br />

in accordance with valid archival law, with regulations requiring special<br />

application and according to the terms specified by those who had<br />

deposited the films. The viewing and the selection are made on an<br />

editing table. Those films which have been transferred to videotape are<br />

viewed on a VCR. When an individual or an institution wants to rent a<br />

film to screen it or copy it to tape, the archive signs a contract with them<br />

stipulating conditions <strong>of</strong> use.<br />

• Copyrights<br />

According to the Law <strong>of</strong> authors’ rights and related rights (Official<br />

Gazette RS 21/95) users must respect the moral and other rights<br />

pertaining to archival films. The Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive keeps detailed<br />

records <strong>of</strong> rentals. Users are obliged to pay rights for subsequent use.<br />

• International co-operation<br />

From the very beginning the Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive has collaborated with<br />

the Jugoslovenska Kinoteka in Belgrade, as it was the only pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

institution specialising in the storage <strong>of</strong> films in the former Yugoslavia.<br />

Since then, it has established good relations with Hrvatska kinoteka in<br />

Zagreb, Kinoteka na Makedonija from Skopje and with the film archive<br />

<strong>of</strong> Bosnia and Herzegovina now being established. Co-operation with the<br />

Austrian film archives in Vienna, Bundesarchiv-<strong>Film</strong>archiv in Koblenz,<br />

Czech film archive in Prague and the Institute Luce in Rome together<br />

with the Bois d’Arcy in France is remarkably successful.<br />

• Affiliation with <strong>FIAF</strong><br />

The Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive had not been a member <strong>of</strong> the International<br />

Federation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Film</strong> Archives (<strong>FIAF</strong>) prior to the independence <strong>of</strong> Slovenia<br />

in 1991. Due to the decision <strong>of</strong> the Executive Committee, held in Oslo<br />

(Norway) on May 26th, 1993, the Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive had become a<br />

provisional member. Soon after the establishment <strong>of</strong> the ACE in 1996 the<br />

Archives was among the first to join this organisation.<br />

• Institution and status <strong>of</strong> the Employees<br />

The Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive functions as an organisational unit within the<br />

archives <strong>of</strong> the Republic <strong>of</strong> Slovenia. The archive’s activity is funded by<br />

this budget. It also utilizes funds derived from its commercial income.<br />

Seven staff members are employed by the Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive. Duties<br />

include management, pr<strong>of</strong>essional processing, technical processing, rental<br />

<strong>of</strong> films and video cassettes, the stills library and technical management.<br />

• Perspectives<br />

The Slovene <strong>Film</strong> Archive is the main institution for the storage and<br />

preservation <strong>of</strong> the Slovene film heritage. During the years <strong>of</strong> its activity<br />

it has collected, and technically and pr<strong>of</strong>essionally processed more than<br />

90% <strong>of</strong> the Slovene film production. In the future the Slovene <strong>Film</strong><br />

Archive intends to acquire new subsidized Slovene film productions. In<br />
