So it is not surprising that in the [[established::1998]] the International Documentary Film Festival was established. In the first few years it was a specialised non-competitive festival that was offering a general, quite unselective overview of the contemporary documentary film production while in the last few years – actually from 1997 when Simon Popek became the director and the selector of the festival – it became a specialised competitive festival focusing on contemporary documentary film production that deals with social issues and social phenomenons. The festival is taking place annually at the [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre]] and in [[Kinodvor Cinema]] in the month of March and it lasts 8 days. | ||
