    Migrant Film Festival

    From September 22 to 26

    Migrant Film Festival, organized by Slovenska filantropija for the sixteenth consecutive year, will once again bring screenings and accompanying events to Ljubljana and several other locations, highlighting various topics and aspects of contemporary migration, asylum, and refugee life. This year, we will touch on current stories related to identity and the feeling of (not) belonging, women in migration, the exploitation of migrant workers, forced returns, and genocide in Palestine.
