Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the dominant genre of Slovak live action television film after 1989, a psychological family or relationship drama, and puts it in the context of isolationism of contemporary Slovak cinema while at the same time comparing it with later processes of pluralisation of Slovak television film that appeared in line with the first Contract with the State (valid from 2010). It also compares development of live-action television and cinematic film and shows how television production often signalled some major changes in Slovak cinema but also featured remarkable differences between seemingly common genre structures.
