Film festivals in Slovenia range from those dedicated to a particular genre, to those showcasing the latest new works on the silver screen in recent years ([[Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe)]]), to topical festivals that highlight a particular problem, issue or community through the frame of the moving picture ([[Migrant Film Festival]], [[Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival]]). There are also several multidisciplinary festivals that include film as a substantial and regular part of their programme˙([[City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts]]). Given that many of the festivals attract specific audiences of enthusiasts of a genre or activists around a cause, the festivals also represent important moments to meet other like-minded film makers and film professionals as well as audience members.

Whether your thing is documentary film, independent feature film, third-world cinematographies, horror and fantasy film or animation and stop-motion film, there's a film festival in Slovenia that caters to your taste.

Film festivals in Slovenia range from those dedicated to a particular genre, to those showcasing the latest new works on the silver screen in recent years (Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe)), to topical festivals that highlight a particular problem, issue or community through the frame of the moving picture (Migrant Film Festival, Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival). There are also several multidisciplinary festivals that include film as a substantial and regular part of their programme˙(City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts). Given that many of the festivals attract specific audiences of enthusiasts of a genre or activists around a cause, the festivals also represent important moments to meet other like-minded film makers and film professionals as well as audience members.
