This Month's Festivals

V-F-X Ljubljana


The international festival of experimental audiovisual practices V-F-X Ljubljana (Video-Film-Experiment) was launched in 2021 by SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts and the Slovenian Cinematheque.

The creation of a new festival dedicated to experimental and avant-garde audio-visual practices was spurred by the need to acknowledge and celebrate groundbreaking AV creations within experimental environments. Rather than starting from scratch, this festival builds upon the foundations laid by numerous exceptional directors, videographers, and artists who have a rich history of experimentation in this field. The festival's aim is to showcase experiences and practices from around the globe, including international platforms, festivals, and programs dedicated to experimental work. It emphasizes both the past and the future, with the goal of uncovering curators, programs, films, videos, installations, and performances that transcend established and classical boundaries, exploring new avenues of expression and utilization of the medium.

International Triennial Ecology and Art


The International Triennial Ecology and Art (ECO Triennial) was established in 1980 by Maribor Art Gallery. Addressing environmental issues first as a topic and later on contextualising them in terms of ecology and social change, this triennial has been organised regularly till 2006. The gallery reconceptualised the event and the next triennial took place in spring 2021 in the complex of the former MTT textile factory in Maribor. Under the title A Letter to the Future its main exhibition was curated by Alessandro Vincentelli (UK, Greece). EKO 8 was accompanied by a vast discursive programme, focused on the city and the urban community and realised in co-operation with the Centre for Creativity and Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory as partners, and building on the institutional network in the city itself.

The 9th International Triennial Ecology and Art Eyes in the Stone will take place between 17th May and 27th July 2024 in The Old Sanatorium in Maribor.

Druga godba Festival is nowadays a major Slovene international world music festival. It was established in 1984 as an alternative and supplement to other music festivals in Ljubljana of that time which did not present the more radical and "different" music practices. Since its inception Druga godba Festival has developed into one of the most significant European festivals of its type, establishing collaborations with many other important festivals and becoming a member of the international European Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (EFWMF).

Since 2013, Druga godba Institute has expanded the festival programme throughout the whole year with the concert cycle Sogodbe. This cycle, which takes place at various locations, continues the broad scope of the main festival and is bridled by neither genre nor continent. Besides staging concerts, Sogodbe also feature workshops, discussions and exhibitions.

Upcoming Festivals

Summer in Velenje Festival


The Summer in Velenje Festival was launched in 1984 under the name Summer Cultural Events in Velenje, marking one of the first multidisciplinary summer city festivals in Slovenia. Organized and coordinated by the Festival Velenje Public Institute, a public cultural organization since 2008, it offers a diverse program featuring music concerts, film screenings, theatre plays, children-oriented programs, and more. The festival spans throughout the summer months, from the end of June to August.

While a part of the program is organized by the institute itself, a significant portion is done in cooperation with other producers. Furthermore, a few other Velenje-based festivals, like the Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures and a Zither festival called Prešmentane citre, are also incorporated into the wider context of the Summer Cultural Events.

Some of the festival venues include the Velenje Castle, the House of Culture Velenje and its yard, the banks of the Velenje and Škale lakes, the Old square of Velenje (Stari trg), and the many streets and parks of the city.

Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival


The Kino Otok – Isola Cinema International Film Festival has been exploring the art of film since 2004, discovering various film expressions in the company of filmmakers and an audience of all generations. It focuses on world, European, and Slovenian auteur cinema. Each edition features a carefully curated non-competitive program, including around eighty films of all lengths, most of which are shown in Slovenia for the first time. The festival’s Mediterranean character is manifested in the balance between ease and temperament, which functions as its magic formula – whoever visits it wants to return again and again.

The main part of the Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival takes place at the beginning of June in Izola, while some of the screenings and meetings with filmmakers also occur in May and June at the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor City Cinema in Ljubljana, as well as at the art cinemas in Cerknica, Idrija, Sežana, and Tolmin.
