Run by Slovenski filmski center (Slovenian Film Centre)
The realization calls are where Slovenian features, documentaries and animation get made, usually opening around the turn of the year. Results are posted as PDFs on each call page, so a writer can see which producers get funded. The centre's own benchmark for an average publicly funded feature is EUR 1.41 million.
