Tomorrow
Key words: political, independent, digital
This is a short meditation on the connection
between flindependent film« and fldigital
technology« with special emphasis on the inherently
political nature of film and film art in general.

Independent film on the hundredth
anniversary of film in Slovenia
Key words: World Trade Organization (WTO), MPA
(Motion Picture Association of America), free choice,
cultural exception, cultural difference, the variety
of cultural offer, EU Media programmes, effective
and holistic film policy
In this article the author argues that the term
flindependent« is frequently misused today.
Normally, film is generally dependent. Film has
only rarely and for short periods been
independent in its most meaningful as well as
original meaning of creative independence as the
consequence of relative economic independence.
It was in the periods in between that flfilm history«
was made. Namely, film was globalized even
before globalization. The relative independence
of film creativity, distribution, and screenings in
Europe and the majority of states in the world
can only be secured through active national
and international film policies. Despite the
development of technology, so-called flpirate«
production that otherwise deserves all the
support it can get, cannot secure the
independence of film in the long term.

The challenges of digital cinematography
Key words: film and digital shooting technique,
scenography, costumes and make-up, Slovene
film production, guerrilla filmmaking, internet
distribution.
Slovenia does not have financially independent
private film producers and investing in film is
understood as a highly risky financial undertaking
that seldom has any returns. Full-length films are
predominantly shot on prestige 35 mm film, even
though the use of digital technology would allow
filmmakers to use their resources and time for
other things, things that would have a greater
impact on potential audiences. Digital technology
means that film scenes are put together digitally
and that computers can work on high-resolution
images, too. Digital technology, however, is not
necessarily a short cut to technically more
accomplished films. That is why it would
benefit future film audiences to gain their basic
knowledge of film and film technology at the
beginning of their education. In this way, they
could learn early enough that the essence of film
is still contained in their story while film technique
(be it digital and analogue) is still only a creative
tool in the hands of filmmakers ‡ storytellers who
tell their stories with the help of moving pictures.

Digital film production and Slovene film
Keywords: film production, film industry, European
film, Slovene film, digital technology.
Computers have been present in film production
for nearly twenty years now. For the most part,
they are used for postproduction; in the past
couple of years, however, their role has been
increasing in the process of film production itself.
Following an overview of some examples from the
US and Europe, this article concentrates on the
Slovene situation with regards to digital film
technology. It offers an overview as well as
discussion of the possibilities for the distribution
and screening of films, the institutional view on
digital film and its enlargement on to film proper
as well as an overview of all the currently shot
full length digital films in Slovenia.
