[[KAMERAT Labour Film Festival]] is the first and the only labor film festival in Slovenia and among the few around the world. Friends of culture, film, and dignified, decent work have been inspired by the 1934 workers’ strike in the Slovenian city of Hrastnik, when workers from across sectors jointly demanded and achieved better working conditions. It is no coincidence that the festival takes place on the anniversary of the strike when the local community celebrates solidarity, comradeship, and the importance of organizing for common goals. The festival, named after how workers in the mine used to call each other (''kamerat'' means comrade), calls out not only a fellow worker but much more: from comradeship and solidarity to organizing for common goals – values that are nowadays pushed aside. | [[KAMERAT Labour Film Festival]] is the first and the only labor film festival in Slovenia and among the few around the world.
