The national film awards Slnko v sieti are intended to award the highest quality films and creative performances of Slovak cinematography. They represent the Slovak equivalent of national film awards such as César in France, David in Italy, Czech Lion in the Czech Republic or Oscar in the United States of America. The organizer and guarantor of the awards is the Slovak Film and Television Academy, a public interest organization that brings together important personalities of Slovak audiovisual culture.
The name of the national film award refers to the breakthrough film of Czechoslovak cinematography of the 1960s and one of the most important Slovak film works ever, the film directed by Štefan Uhr The Sun in the Network. In the second plan, this phrase is associated with the ability of a modern look at traditional values, a certain elusiveness of things and relationships, the brevity of a moment that materializes in a flash of light and gives things a different shade and meaning. Film's ability to "capture the uncapturable". The author of the proposal for the Sun in the Network award is Mgr. art. Oliver Leššo.
