The international festival of experimental audiovisual practices V-F-X Ljubljana (Video-Film-Experiment) was launched in 2021 by SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts and the Slovenian Cinematheque. The creation of the festival was spurred by the need to acknowledge and celebrate groundbreaking AV creations within experimental environments. The festival's aim is to showcase experiences and practices from around the globe, including international platforms, festivals, and programs dedicated to experimental work. It emphasizes both the past and the future, with the goal of uncovering curators, programs, films, videos, installations, and performances that transcend established and classical boundaries, exploring new avenues of expression and utilization of the medium.
The year 2026 marks the centenary of the deaths of two significant Slovenian writers: the writer and women' s rights advocate Zofka Kveder (1878–1926) and the Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel (1904–1926). To commemorate these anniversaries, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has officially declared 2026 the year of the two writers.
Turjak Castle is located in the village of the same name approximately 20 kilometers from Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written records in 1220 but was probably built even earlier, in the 10th or 11th century. It acquired its present-time appearance after an earthquake in 1511. It features the largest round bastion in Slovenia and a distinctive Renaissance defensive corridor in the shape of a triangle. The castle underwent a major renovation, initiated by the Ministry of Culture, between 2024 and 2026.
