In the period between WWI and WWII, only a few select individuals were engaged in film-making in Slovenia. The most prominent amongst these were Veličan Bester, Metod Badjura, Božidar Jakac and Josip Pogačnik. Most of the documentary footage made during the National Liberation War was captured on film by the partisans. The Department for Cinematography was founded already before the end of the war within the framework of the Educational Department of the Slovene National Liberation Council and marked the beginning of post-war cinematography in Slovenia. Upon liberation, cinematography in Slovenia experienced a boom, which culminated in the founding of the state-owned movie production company of "Triglavfilm" in August 1946. This company was charged with the production of feature films, documentaries, cultural programmes and the weekly current affairs programme "Obzornik". Carrying out the five-year plan prescribed by the government coupled with the ever increasing ideological demands placed upon the documentary films by the socialist system, was particularly trying for the film industry. An added strain was also the introduction of the socialist system of self-management, which brought an extensive reorganisation in its wake - also in the field of cinematography.
