“Slovenia was the big winner at this year’s edition of the When East Meets West (WEMW) co-production forum with Sonja Prosenc’s second feature History Of Love picking up three awards.

The film’s producer Rok Secen, one of the co-founders of Ljubljana-based Monoo, was presented with the EAVE Scholarship Award to participate in the European producers’ training programme.

In addition, Film London’s Helena Mackenzie and Rome New Cinema Network’s Alexia di Vito chose Prosenc’s contemporary psychological drama to receive their prize of a guaranteed place at the London Production Finance Market and Rome’s New Cinema Network next October.

Moreover, History of Love, which is currently structured as a Slovenian-Icelandic-Croatian co-production, was one of six projects to receive support from RE-ACT Co-Development Funding Scheme launched by the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Audiovisual Fund with the Slovenian Film Centre and th Croatian Audiovisual Centre last year.” – SCREENDAILY, Martin Blaney
