The Initiative of NGO Film Festivals was formed in late 2016 as an informal association of Slovenia-based international festivals. The purpose of the now 13-member Initiative is to encourage an exchange of knowhow between active organisers from across Slovenia, analyse the state of film festivals in the country, identify the main challenges, maintain an ongoing dialogue with decision-makers, make efforts to improve the conditions for film festivals, and articulate a common vision for the future of the sector.

If Covid-19 restrictions tighten between now and October, the events will be delivered in a hybrid format, as streaming events with in-person attendance of speakers.
