WROTE ABOUT US:
"The festival promotes non-commercial and independent fiction, documentary, experimental and animated short films and realises its programme and its international projects in a solid DIY (do it yourself) manner. The entrance to all of the screenings is free of charge. The festival, which took off in 2009, is involved in a network of art cinemas, cinematheques and film clubs from Oslo to Tirana and Beirut.

The festival acquired its international, travelling nature in 2010, when it co-produced events like Graz Short Film Night. Later, it established the Balkan Film Bazaar vehicle, which showcased a selection of Ex-Yugoslavian short films (gathered for the Ljubljana edition) in the cities of Graz, Oslo and Helsinki." /https://www.culture.si/en/Ljubljana_International_Short_Film_Festival/
