Formed in 2014 by a group of young film enthusiasts and professionals, the Kraken Film Society is a vehicle under which they work on promoting and establishing short films as an unique cinematic art form. They engage in a variety of activities, from collaborating on film programmes venues and festivals across Slovenia, to promoting Slovenian short film authors abroad and disseminating information about various submission calls and the like. Their long-term aim is "to become a national platform for educating audiences on the specifics and the idiosyncrasies of the short film form, as well as uniting film authors, theoreticians, producers and distributors".

The foremost of their activities is currently the organisation of the FeKK Ljubljana Short Film Festival. This project is tightly knit with their formal formation, as the society was supposedly set up for the 2014 edition of the international project K3 Ljubljana, and out of this, FeKK was born.

Another of Kraken's projects is a regular series of evenings dedicated to short film at the Slovenian Cinemathequethe. Besides screenings, these events sometimes also feature discussions with guests from abroad (for example, Laura Walde of the Swiss Short Film Festival Winterthur). The Cinemathequethe also hosted a night long film marathon that they've organised in conjuncture with the Le Jour Le Plus Court project of the French National Cinema Centre (CNC). Kraken also collaborates with the Kranj based Film Mixer Independent Film Festival and is involved in short film screenings at other festivals and venues like the Nova Gorica Arts Centre, Kosovel Culture House Sežana, Festival Kopedia, Meduza Gallery, Koper, etc.

At the International Short Film Festival - Clermont-Ferrand they represented Slovenia together with the [Slovenian Film Centre], and also programmed a Slovenian film section at the Croatian festival Kratki na brzinu.
