Ljubljana Docu Film Fest, still topical and engaged

Ljubljana's Cankarjev Dom arts centre is hosting the 25th Documentary Film Festival between 10 and 17 March, bringing a series of topical, mostly foreign films, and discussions. The festival will pay tribute to Mako Sajko, the late Slovenian director who did pioneering work in environmental documentary.

Along with Sajko's seven shorts, a total of 21 feature-length documentaries will be screened, of which five will be in the running for the Amnesty International Slovenia Human Rights Film Award. Environmental topics will rank prominently.

Sajko's films are still very topical...
