This paper focuses on the analysis of Slovenian films with special emphasis on topics related to spirituality, Church, and religiosity. The sample, which includes 427 units, represents the entire Slovenian film production between 1991 and 2022, was analysed using the content analysis method of film descriptions. The results showed that the topics of spirituality compared to topics of Church and religion are dominant and show an increasing trend. The topics of spirituality are relatively peripheral in the thematic field, but are important, as they provide a spiritual component to dominant topics, especially topics related to personality, family, partnership, work, friendship, and solidarity. Metadata analysis also showed that a) themes of spirituality are dispersed relatively equally between documentaries and feature films, while themes related to religion appear predominantly in feature films, and that b) themes of spirituality and religiosity from the point of view of authorship are in the domain of women.
