| + | In 1994 a section for documentaries was introduced at the [[Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe)]] and it immediately received a great response from the audience. It quickly became clear that the documentary film production has its audience, even a large one, although documentaries were rarely – if at all – screened in cinemas. It became one of the most popular sections among the audience of the Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe), until it was discontinued from the official programme after 1996. Thus, it is not surprising that in the [[established::1998]] the [[Documentary Film Festival]] was established. In the first few years it was a specialised non-competitive festival that offered a general, quite unselective overview of the contemporary documentary film production. Later it introduced a competitive section for Mountain and Adventure Films (in 2007 it became a separate festival event). | ||
