| − | + | The [[Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe)]] was launched in [[established::1990]] as the Film Art Festival Ljubljana. The festival is organised by the [[Cankarjev dom, Film Programme|Film Department of the Cankarjev dom Cultural and Congress Centre]], but films are also screened at [[Slovenian Cinematheque]], [[Kinodvor Cinema]], [[Komuna Cinema]], [[Bežigrad Cinema]], [[Maribox]], [[Metropol Cinema Celje]] and [[APT Novo mesto]]. It can be classified as a specialised competitive festival that not only features an overview of contemporary world film production but also focuses on emerging directors and new trends in contemporary cinema. | |

| + | For many years, the programme director of the festival was [[Jelka Stergel]], but [[Simon Popek]] has successfully succeeded her, bringing a clearer cinephile touch to the festival in the last few years. Although the festival's selection is now maybe less commercial than before, the festival audience is still growing. With close to 50,000 tickets sold, the LIFFe is the biggest event in Cankarjev dom's yearly programme and also one of the biggest cultural events in Slovenia. Another reason for the growing interest is the inclusion of international guests (directors, actors, producers, etc.) who visit the festival each year. In the past years, some well-known directors and actors have visited LIFFe, including Hal Hartley, Eric Zonca, Aleksei German, Jr., James Benning, Burghart Klaußner, Vlad Ivanov, Abel Ferrara and others. | ||
