The festival has a non-competitive programme which tries to present a balanced selection of international and local productions, as well as student and professional films. It showcases films of different length, as the organisers strive to give a dynamic and colourful representation of the various approaches and methodologies of the ethnographic film genre.
DEF presents an unbound scope of themes such as intangible heritage, social tensions, particular social groupings, political activism and artistic practices. As each year there are more and more applicants sending their films, the diversity and quality of presented ethnographic films is rising.
Since 2015, the festival has been biennial. In the intervening years, the organizers reflect on topics from the fields of visual ethnography, visual research and ethnographic film. In these years, the organizers prepare special (also thematically focused) events such as film seminars.

During the festival, the Niko Kuret Award is given by the Slovene Ethnological Society to individuals whose contributions have made a mark in the field of ethnographic film and visual anthropology in general.

The festival also featured a selection of film works by these prominent and innovative researchers and pedagogues.
