The Youth and Heritage Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Youth and Heritage Film Festival in Idrija is a youth-focused Slovenian festival that encourages children and young filmmakers to explore cultural heritage, especially Idrija’s technical heritage, through film. It is notable for being tied to a UNESCO-listed heritage town with a strong mining history, and for combining a heritage theme with a free-theme section to attract young creators from Slovenia and abroad.[2][1]
