The Deuje babe Festival was first set up by C.M.A.K. Cerkno in 2013 as a way to commemorate the International Women's day. Its name comes from a local arheological site, where the local folklore tells wild women, which could somehow be a translation of the festival name, used to live. Cmak has been organising it with the Ljubljana based International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns, which also takes place in roughly the same timeframe.

The aim of the festival is to reflect the position of women in the society, rpesent their artistic and cultural endeavours, promtoe equality and feministic standpoints. Besides Cmak, it also takes place at the Idrija film thater and a few other venues in the Cerkljansko region.

Programme

The programme is comprise dof exhibitions (presenting artists like the photographer Nada Žgank), evening talks with prominent females, story telling for grown ups, film screenings (with works like Kot podgane, ki zapuščajo potapljajočo se ladjo« by Vike Kirchenbauer and »neki neki«, by Céline Sciamma) and concerts.

Some of the invite bands are ?Alos (Italija), R.Y.F. (IT), Sequenzsiaz (DE), Aivery (AT) and Le Toy (AT). The music is very much, though not exclusively, rock and punk oriented.
