Slovakia has a rich history of filmmaking, with an industry that dates back to the early 1920s. Over the last century, there have been many notable Slovak filmmakers who have contributed greatly to this field, including Juraj Jakubisko, Dušan Hanák, and Peter Solan.  
=== Historical Background ===
 
Slovak cinema has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. The development of Slovak film was influenced by various historical events, including the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the rise of communism, and the Velvet Revolution in 1989. These events shaped the themes and styles of Slovak films throughout the years.
 
During the communist era, Slovak cinema was heavily controlled by the state, and filmmakers were often limited in their artistic expression. However, after the Velvet Revolution, Slovak filmmakers had more freedom to explore a wider range of topics and experiment with different styles. This period marked a significant shift in Slovak film, leading to the emergence of new voices and creative approaches in storytelling.

One of his most famous films is "Perinbaba" (also known as "The Feather Fairy"), a fairy tale set in a magical world. Jakubisko's unique storytelling style and visual aesthetics have earned him international recognition.
 
==== Martin Šulík ====
 
Martin Šulík is a contemporary Slovak director known for his introspective and character-driven films. His works often explore themes of identity, memory, and human relationships.

Šulík's films have been praised for their emotional depth and storytelling craftsmanship.
 
==== Peter Solan ====
 
Peter Solan was a pioneering Slovak director whose films had a significant impact on Slovak cinema. His works often addressed social and political issues, reflecting the turbulent times in which they were made.

It tells the story of a concentration camp prisoner who finds solace in boxing while facing the horrors of World War II.
 
=== Genres of Slovak Film ===
 
Slovak cinema encompasses a wide range of genres, from historical dramas to comedies and documentaries. Let's explore some of the most prominent genres in Slovak film:

One of the most famous Slovak films is Obchod na korze (The Shop on Main Street), which was directed by Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos and won the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards in 1966. The film tells the story of a Slovak carpenter who is appointed 'Aryan controller' of an elderly Jewish widow's button shop during the Nazi occupation of Slovakia and struggles with the moral implications of his position.
