The 12th and 13th edition of FeKK – Ljubljana Short Film Festival

FeKK – Ljubljana Short Film Festival is the largest Slovenian festival dedicated to short film form in all its varieties. The festival is organized by the Kraken Association for the Promotion of Short Film. Throughout its first ten editions, celebrated in 2024, the festival established itself as an important player nationally, regionally and internationally, which can be observed through a diverse range of partnerships established. The main objectives of FeKK, which remain at is core since its beginning in 2015, are to present, circulate and promote a diversity of European short films and talents, engage and educate audiences, promote film heritage and have a sustainable and environmentally conscious way of managing all its activities.

With each new edition, FeKK offers specialised insights into the European short film productions and industry both for its diverse audiences as well as professionals, i.e. authors, curators, festival selectors, film critics, producers, distributors. FeKK organizes events both during the main festival week as well as throughout the year. The programming particularly focuses on European productions, also those originating from countries of Southeast Europe which are often overlooked and underrepresented (low AV production capacity countries).

By curating themed programmes, diverse audiences are engaged and invited to attend screenings, workshops, industry events and accompanying programs. Due regard is paid to young audiences (FeKKids), sensory impaired people (FER FeKK), older generations and those outside the capital (VOD platforms). Visitors thus vary from youth to students, cultural workers, film professionals, locals and tourists. There has been approximately a 15% yearly increase in festival visitors each year. Strategy for the future involves placing more focus on female authors, engaging new audiences and further pursue strategies in lessening environmental footprint of the festival.
