Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe)

The Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe) was launched in 1990 as the Film Art Festival Ljubljana. The festival is organised by the Film Department of the Cankarjev dom Cultural and Congress Centre, but films are also screened at Slovenian Cinematheque, Kinodvor Cinema, Komuna Cinema, Bežigrad Cinema, Maribox, Metropol Cinema Celje and APT Novo mesto. It can be classified as a specialised competitive festival that not only features an overview of contemporary world film production but also focuses on emerging directors and new trends in contemporary cinema.

The Pixxelpoint International Festival of Contemporary Art Practices, organised by Nova Gorica Arts Centre, was launched in 2000. Previously focused on computer art and up until 2016 going under the name International Festival of Computer Art, the festival is now running a broad focus that intermingles contemporary technologies (computer ones as well as others) with art, science and various societal practices.

The Nova Gorica City Gallery traditionally hosts the main exhibitions. Further locations such as TIR - Mostovna Gallery and some other spaces in Nova Gorica as well as the neighbouring Italian city of Gorizia host lectures, workshops, evening meetings, symposium on a given topic, and music concerts by well-known music performers. The internet – as a "lasting" platform – is also the venue for some projects.

Overview



Fields of Experimental Music in Slovenia

Luka T. Zagoričnik


Let's take a ride on the term experimental music, which currently mainly defines certain more fringe musical practices, across the expanses of various musical plains, styles and genres. We can apply this (overly) broad term to designate the varied creative simmering in certain segments of the present-day Slovenian music scene. A scene that spans the realms of electro-acoustic music, musique concrète, experimental music in the context of modern classical music, free improvisation, experimental electronic music and sound art as well as their associated present-day trends. This scene is diverse and exceptionally agile. It has developed a strong infrastructure for itself (festivals, concert series, labels, international networks) and exists in the space between self-organising and DIY models and institutional environments.
