History
The House of Tolerance Festival was modelled after the Tolerance Festival in Zagreb which began as a festival of Jewish film in 2007. Since 2015 the House of Tolerance Festival in Ljubljana – still called Festival of Tolerance then and organised in regional cooperation with the Zagreb Jewish Film Festival Association – has been highlighting problems in contemporary societies and encouraging debates on tolerance, exclusion and hatred towards marginalised groups.
Programme
The focus of the first edition of the festival in February 2015 was the focus was on film screenings, but its main guests were film producer and actor Branko Lustig, illustrator and designer Mirko Ilić with his lecture Symbols of Hatred and Antimasonic Posters Exhibition, and the president of the European Roma Association Orhan Galjuš. The book Tracing Jewish Heritage: Guidebook to Slovenia written by Janez Premk and Mihaela Hudelja was also presented at that year’s festival. Special attention was paid to the educational programme for the young.
The second festival rehosted Lustig and Ilić, but also philosophers Slavoj Žižek, Mladen Dolar and many others. The third festival staged two exhibitions: Arthur Rothstein’s photo collection and a poster exhibition by Mirko Ilić on the topic of tolerance involving world famous designers, including Milton Glaser. The posters were exhibited in Ljubljana’s French Revolution Square.
In 2017, House of Tolerance Festival extended its programme also in Maribor, the second largest city in Slovenia. The fourth festival’s edition took place in 2018 with its now well-established programme, outstanding international guests, feature, documentary and short film screenings, educational mornings, puppet and theatre performances, music concerts and discussions.
