The International Mountain Film Festival Domžale started screening films in 2007. Presenting various aspects of mountain culture, its programme encompasses films about mountain sports (mountaineering, mountain running, B.A.S.E jumping, etc), various types of climbing, mountain wildlife, the life of indigenous mountain dwellers, and more. It does not limit itself to films only, but also hosts lectures, exhibitions, book presentations and a children's programme, all with the aim of enriching the cultural component of how mountains are perceived.

The festival is co-produced by Društvo za gorsko kulturo (Society for Mountain Culture) and Cankarjev dom, where most of the festival's events occur (the other location is the Franc Bernik Culture House in Domžale). It has been led since the beginning by its founder, the legendary mountaineer Silvo Karo. In 2010 the International Mountain Film Festival Domžale became a member of the International Alliance for Mountain Film.
