| Description | This study analyzes the field of Slovak documentary films for cinemas based on ten interviews conducted with producers in 2018 and 2019. It offers a classification of producers based on their primary focus and tries to explain the motivations of the directors to produce their own documentaries and the fact that they later give up this aim and shift to the production of the movies directed by their colleagues. The study also includes an analysis of the producers’ attitudes towards the two most influential institutions in the field: the Slovak Audiovisual Fund and the Radio and Television of Slovakia. Finally, the author presents a model of the field and the trajectories of the producers from their entry into the field: gaining and consolidating their position with greater autonomy, taking up positions in institutions that are most relevant for the field, remaining in marginal positions, and choosing less standard tactics. |
