[[Fabula Festival of Stories]] has been organised since 2004 by Študentska založba Publishing House in collaboration with the publishing house Dnevnik PLC, publisher of the [[Dnevnik]] daily newspaper, and Postojnska jama turizem PLC. The underlying concept of Fabula has been to promote readership and the culture of reading in Slovenia. The main focus of the festival is no longer on short stories but on storytelling in general; in addition to book presentations and evening readings, the festival features screenings of films adapted from short stories. Besides renowned European story writers, numerous Slovene authors are featured in the festival, which also includes the bestowal of the [[Fabula Award]] for the best Slovene book of short stories.

A public discussion entitled Dramatisation of Novels took place at the [[Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Drama]], followed by the play Severni sij ('Northern Lights') by Drago Jančar, performed by the [[Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Maribor]] and directed by Mile Korun. Also accompanying the festival were a panel discussion about Slovene and Croatian fiction entitled Jeziki mesta ('Urban Languages'), and a conference on film stories. In 2007 the theme of the festival was 'The Death' and the festival featured some panel discussions involving artists, doctors, sociologists and anthropologists.
