LJUBLJANA: Slovenian cinema will be represented by as many as 12 films at the 27th edition of MedFilm Festival from 5 to 14 November 2021. In the framework of the oldest film festival in Rome, 9 November 2021 is designated as the Slovenian Film Day.

Slovenian films will participate both in the short film competition programme and in the section focusing on Slovenian women filmmakers.

This year, the festival that showcases the cinematographies from the Mediterranean region will be held in a hybrid format: in four cinemas, as well as on the MyMovies online platform.
