Launched in 2014, Film Mixer Independent Film Festival deals with independent film productions from all over the world. It takes place in Kranj, a regional capitol without any art cinema venues and consequently a very appropriate place for setting this up. The main venues are the Layer's House and its neighbouring intermedia centre Škrlovec Tower, which are coupled by a few additional venues throughout the city – Kranj City Library, Khislstein Castle and the Vovkov vrt, a small park along the old city wall in which the Layer's House is sometimes also organising occasional film screenings. Most of the screenings are organised on the open air.

Conceptually, the festival addresses the rich multitude of contemporary film production that is systematically ignored by the multiplex cinema infrastructure and is nevertheless accessible and relevant. Alongside its main, internationally set up programme, Film Mixer also sets deals with local and regional film scenes and presents the works of various less established authors. Besides the actual films, there are also round table discussions (for example, on alternative film funding methods and with guest artists), workshops on various skills like acting, select music video presentations, etc.

Film selection

The festival lasts for only three days (with an additional pre-event) and has a rather limited budget, so the number of presented feature movies is as of now still under ten. Some of these were Before Sunset (Richard Linklater, US, 2004), Drinking Buddies (Joe Swanberg, US, 2013), Hungry Man (Philip Martin, FR, 2013), Narco Cultura (Shaul Schwartz, MX, 2013), Submarine (Richard Ayoade, UK, 2010), tea Time (Maite Alberdi, CL, 2014) and What a Wonderful World (Anatol Durbală, MD, 2015). Alongside these, short movies present an important festival feature and are usually done in collaboration with other festivals and institutions.

Collaborations

In presenting a programme of animated features, Film Mixer collaborates with Animateka International Animated Film Festival. The best short films from the Croatian Tabor Film Festival and the K3 International Short Film Festival have been also shown, whith the Slovenian production was covered by the Kraken Society (who otherwise organise the short film festival FeKK). The best Slovenian music videos were curated by the web-portal Podoba-glasba. One of the programme features was also a night long screening of short films accompanied by improvised music. As for the latter, the main festival co-producer, Layer's House, also takes care of the music programme.

Another collaboration is the Odprto platno [Open screen] project, which is done together with KUD Subart and Legit Films and has a public call for movies on certain given topics. Best films made at the MUVIT/6×60 movie-making marathon are also presented.
