Arriving in good time
During the festive season in December, traffic tends to get heavily congested in Ljubljana. Visitors are advised to leave home earlier than usual to avoid arriving late.
After the unfortunate 31st edition, held entirely in a virtual setting due to measures adopted to contain the COVID-19 epidemic, the Ljubljana International Film Festival (Liffe) returns to cinemas. In venues around the city, as well as throughout Slovenia (Maribor, Celje and Novo Mesto), films will be shown in their natural environment – on the big screen – between 10 and 21 November.
However, it never hurts to be prepared, which is why the festival will be held at least partially in a hybrid environment of both movie theatres and online streaming, also due to the exceptionally good response of Slovenia-wide viewers to Liffe’s VOD streaming last year.
Fresh, vigorous, and possibly inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, the programme will again call attention to young, aspiring filmmakers. The "Banned Women" section will take a look at provocative filmmakers or controversial subjects featuring strong female characters, while Georgia’s new wave filmmakers constitute an incredibly vital cinema to whose representatives Liffe has long been giving prominence.
