Abstract
Introducing the concept 'New Slovak Documentarism', the study examines contemporary Slovak docufictions, with its direct foundations laid by the so-called 'Generation ’90' (Generácia 90). Firstly, the essay argues that the era of change of Slovak cinema did not begin in 1989, and as a next step it contextualizes ‘'New Slovak Documentarism' in a broader international film historical context. Subsequently, the paper keeps track of the transformation of non-fiction documentary into fiction film through Môj pes Killer and Eva Nová. Finally, it examines the capacity of contemporary Slovak cinema for international dialogue through the possibility of adapting postcolonial (film) theory, and tests it on Slovak Roma-themed films in Zvonky šťastia and Cigáni idú do volieb. The author concludes that the movement regenerated Slovak cinema, so it can be called the 'Second Slovak New Wave'.
