The Roll - Slovenian Cinema in Motion

Slovenian cinema is moving forward, outward, and with purpose. The Roll follows that motion as an annual publication that maps where our stories, filmmakers, and collaborations are heading and how they resonate within the wider European and global film community. In recent years, a clear shift has taken place. Slovenian films are increasingly present on the international festival circuit. A remarkable generation of women directors is redefining the landscape with fresh perspectives and bold voices, and animation has become one of our most visible and acclaimed creative fields. International co-production, meanwhile, has grown beyond a financial framework into something more essential, reflecting a layered, open, and collaborative identity.

This inaugural edition offers a curated snapshot of that momentum. It brings together key conversations, a focused section on women directors, a Cannes talent spotlight, and a selection of titles moving through post-production. Alongside them, you will find a compact industry overview and a Slovenian festival calendar for the year ahead, which serves as an invitation.

There is no better place to introduce The Roll than at the heart of the festival circuit, where the international film industry gathers each year to exchange ideas and forge partnerships. Designed to move from meetings to screenings and from one conversation to the next, The Roll follows the rhythm of cinema itself. Film, after all, is movement at its core between languages, places, and people.
