Why go
The Ljubljana International Film Festival, LIFFe, has been staged by the national cultural center Cankarjev dom since 1990 and is Slovenia's premier film event: eleven program sections led by the Perspectives competition for emerging directors, screened across nine venues from Cankarjev dom's Linhart and Kosovel halls to Kinodvor, the Slovenian Cinematheque, and Kino Siska, with satellite screenings in Maribor, Novo Mesto, and Celje. The 37th edition runs November 11-22, 2026. It is the arthouse counterpoint to the capital's compact walkability, a festival you can cross entirely on foot between screenings.
