DOKUDOC International Documentary Film Festival is a mostly Slovenian documentary focused festival, established in 2012.

It features workshops and live discussions with film makers, and bestows lifetime achievement awards to documentary authors.

It has collaborated with several international documentary festivals from the region, such as the International Documentary Film Festival Jihlava (CZ), MakeDox (MK) and Beldocs (SRB).

European Capital of Culture

Nova Gorica–Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025

Since its inception in 1985, over 40 cities have won the prestigious European Capital of Culture (ECoC) title. Forty years later, however, the border cities of Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy are the first ones to turn this annual celebration of culture into a genuinely cross-border endeavour. Based on these cities' specific political, cultural and geographical context, their 2025 ECoC programme explores the concept of borders from multiple dimensions under the slogan “Go! Borderless”.

The opening event, From Station to Station, was held on 8 February, the Slovenian cultural holiday.
