Despite its focus on children, the recent film festival proved to be an attraction for the broader community of film enthusiasts. The venues were observed to be filled by a wide demographic, encompassing all generations, young people, children, industry professionals, and local visitors. Attendees expressed enthusiasm for the event.
Rapper Rok Terkaj (Trkaj), who attended the gathering, noted the positive atmosphere, stating, “We like to watch good films, the team is great, so welcome.”
Klemen Dvornik, the program director, provided context regarding the significance of the event. He stated that while it marked the establishment of a new festival, it simultaneously represented the first children’s film festival held in Slovenia, an occasion he felt was long overdue. Dvornik elaborated on the festival’s intended role, explaining that it is designed to function as a central meeting point.
This gathering is intended to connect young viewers with the best in children’s film and, crucially, with the filmmakers who create this content. The event thus serves as a comprehensive platform celebrating cinema for all ages, while specifically championing the art of children’s filmmaking within the country.
