FESTIVAL OF MIGRANT FILM 2019

Since 2010 Slovene Philanthropy commemorates the World Refugee Day (June 20th) with the Festival of Migrant Film. This year’s festival, which will take place in Ljubljana and other cities from June 17th to June 20th, focuses on current stories, connected to asylum politics, migration and refugees.

Festival films will be presented in three film sections: portraits, closing the borders and LGBTIQA+ refugee stories.
