The International Festival of Mountain Film started screening films in 2007. Presenting various aspects of mountain culture, its programme encompasses films about mountain sports (mountaineering, mountain running, B.A.S.E jumping, etc), various types of climbing, mountain wildlife, the life of indigenous mountain dwellers, and more.

It does not limit itself to films only, but also hosts lectures (with prominent foreign guests like Dean Potter, Adam Ondra and Lynn Hill), exhibitions, book presentations and a children's programme, aiming to enrich the way mountaineering is being perceived and represented.

Venues and producers

The festival is produced by Društvo za gorsko kulturo (Society for Mountain Culture) and co-produced by Cankarjev dom, where most of the festival's events occur. However, screenings take place all over Slovenia, with some of the venues being the Franc Bernik Culture House, Domžale, the Nova Gorica Arts Centre, the Art kino Metropol Celje and the Slovenian Alpine Museum.

The festival has been led since the beginning by its founder, the legendary mountaineer Silvo Karo. In 2010 the International Festival of Mountain Film became a member of the International Alliance for Mountain Film.
