Applying Alain Bergala’s ‘three-phase’ model to the history and development of film education in Slovenia

This article uses the three-phase model proposed by Alain Bergala to explain the history and development of film education in France as a sympathetic framework through which to illuminate a double history of film education, first in Yugoslavia, and more recently in Slovenia. Surveying both continuities and discontinuities, this article details some of the key institutions and personalities that have shaped the history of Slovenian film education, before exploring some of the contemporary challenges practitioners continue to face within an evolving film education sector.
