LGBT Film Festival

The LGBT Film Festival, formerly known as the Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, stands as a testament to Slovenia's rich cinematic and LGBTQ+ history, proudly holding the title of Europe's oldest gay and lesbian film festival. Established in 1984, this annual event, organized by the ŠKUC Association, has consistently provided a vital platform for international gay and lesbian cinema. Over the years, it has evolved, expanding its scope to encompass a broader spectrum of LGBTQ+ themes and filmmakers. The festival typically unfolds in December, gracing various venues across Ljubljana, including the Slovenian Cinematheque, Klub Tiffany, Kinodvor Cinema, and Kino Šiška. Attendees can anticipate a curated selection of feature films, documentaries, and short films from around the globe, all presented with English subtitles, ensuring accessibility for an international audience. Beyond screenings, the festival often includes Q&A sessions with filmmakers, workshops, and networking opportunities, fostering a deeper engagement with queer cinema and its cultural impact. The atmosphere is one of intellectual curiosity, artistic appreciation, and community connection, making it a significant cultural event in Ljubljana's winter calendar.
