ABOUT

FeKK Ljubljana Short Film Festival is a both internationally as well as locally oriented festival aiming to forefront the somewhat neglected culture of short films, be them animated, experimental or of any other type. The festival lasts for about a week and includes various, competitive and non-competitive sections, international meetings and guests, round tables and also just plain all-night parties. As such it works on developing the local short film scene and connecting its producers, authors, theorists and organisers.

The festival takes place at two main locations: the indoor hall of the Slovenian Cinematheque and its Summer Open-air Cinema at the Museum Quarter in the “new” part of the Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone. Additional venues are also the R.O.G. Skatepark and the KULT3000. After the main festival ends, some of its programme later travels through other venues around Slovenia.

An important part of the festival are its international collaborations, especially with the K3 Festivalfrom Austria. There, the three best Slovenian films are presented in a regional short film competition section.
