As neither the musical programme nor other festival's aspects conform to the norms of commercial viability, Sajeta is having continuous financial difficulties. It has recently shortened the musical programme, more extensively favouring it's creative camp component.
History
Zasnovano by a group of young enthusiasts from the town Tolmin, združeni in Kud Karma Koma association, the creative camp was at firsta weekend long event based on artist workshops. A number of artists and performers gathered there in 1998 and 1999, but then for the next two years the project potihnil. In 2002, the Tolmin Union of Youth Associations relaunched the festival and expanded it with musical and multimedia programme.
After that, Sajeta gradually became a renowned, week-long festival with a (more or less) ambitious musical programme, film screenings, drama performances and literary readings, generating a creative atmosphere unlike any other summer festivals and strongly differentiating from the other, much more commercially successful and genre profiled events that are also taking place on the (idyllic) Sotočje penisula. That in itself has in the last decade became the prime spot for summer music festivals.
Programme
Musicians and groups presented till now are innumerable. A few of the big names are the Vienna electronics scene prime protagnoists Fennesz, Radian and Thilges 3, electronics pioneers such as Dieter Moebius, Richard Pinhas and Roedelius, folk virtuosos Alexander Balanescua and Lajko Felix. A very exceptional resident of Sajeta is probably the most prolific Slovene jazz musician Zlatko Kaučič, who performed concerts with (among others) jazz legends Trevor Watts, Akosh Szeleveny, Louis Sclavis in Peter Brötzmann. But still, the programme is not built on head liners - conversely, it seeks to escape such a paradigm.
Presenting many emerging musicians and bands from Slovenia, the somewhat neglected Eastern Europe and from elsewhere, it hosted (to randomly select a few) Vasko Atanasovski Trio, Broken Heart Collector, Alzheimer Trio, Bratko Bibič, Orton, Ago Tela, Ivan Volarič - Feo, Vladimir Vaclavek, Francesco Cusa, Uzgun Uver, Korai Orom, Zakarya and Manufacture, The Magic Carpathians Project, Haradhan Das Baul, East Rodeo, Damir Avdić, Rambo Amadeu etc.
International collaborations
Workshops involved Serbian film makers Rom Kinodruštvo of Novi Sad and Italian percussionist Francesco Cusa, with their outputs being presented in the afternoons.
