Ljubljana Puppet Theatre

The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre (LPT) is the central puppet theatre in Slovenia, running a varied programme of puppet and also theatre performances. Mainly – though not exclusively – intended for children and youth, the theatre encompasses both traditional puppetry as well as its many contemporary forms. Involved in various international endeavours and working with domestic as well as foreign authors, its productions are often included at distinguished theatre and puppetry festivals in Slovenia and abroad. Established in 1948, it is still actively shaping the development of puppetry as such.

The theatre organises the Lutke International Puppet Festival and co-produces the Golden Stick Festival, both taking place every second year. Having merged with the Theatre for Children and Youth (GOML) in 2009, LPT also sets up children's and youth theatre productions. The Museum of Puppetry, another project co-founded by the theatre, opened its doors in 2015 and is stationed at the Ljubljana Castle.

Viba Film Studio

Viba Film Studio as we know it today was established in 1994 by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia as a state institution which operates as the national technical film foundation. In a way one could say that its history is longer (at least from 1956 when the production company Viba Film was established) as it existed already before but under (more or less) different names and under different organisational structures. Today Viba Film Studio is involved in the production and/or post-production of the majority of Slovene films included in the National Film Programme (co-funded by the Slovenian Film Centre), but it also operates on a strictly commercial basis (international co-productions, commercials, etc.). Viba also cooperates in student productions at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT), both during the shooting of films and the post-production.
