Below you can find the programme of the 2024 festival.
The films in the festival programme deal with a wide range of themes, and the films are not suitable for children due to genres or topics, for example. In order to avoid unclear situations, we have decided that the 18+ age limit will be observed at our festival in all events and screenings, except for the children's own event on Sat 28.9. and the festival brunches at Café Majurska.
The children's event and its programme is planned specifically for children and the children's film is allowed for everyone (S).
