[[Luksuz Cheap Film Festival]] was established in [[established::2003]] by [[Luksuz Production]], the video production arm of the [[Society of Allies for Soft Landing, Krško (DZMP)]], motivated by the advent of cheap film production in recent years and the consequent democratisation of media. The festival features some 30 short and low-budget film productions by both domestic and foreign experimental and alternative directors and activists, created in a non-commercial or non-institutional context and offering an alternative to mainstream "Hollywood" and national film productions. Luksuz Festival welcomes films that tackle the subject of society and culture, social critique, cultural diversity and youth culture. 

The 2023 edition takes place on the [[Rajhenburg Castle]] in Brestanica.
