23RD LUKSUZ FILM FESTIVAL
JANUARY 23-25, 2026
KRŠKO, SLOVENIA
The Luksuz Film Festival returns for its 23rd edition, continuing its mission to support
independent filmmaking from around the world. Founded in 2003 by Luksuz Produkcija, the festival has become a unique platform for emerging authors and grassroots voices that challenge dominant narratives.
Taking place in Krško, a small town in eastern Slovenia, the Festival embraces its peripheral location as a strength. By remaining rooted in the community where it was born, Luksuz has cultivated a cultural space with a global outlook without relocating to a major city, fostering a truly decentralized perspective. This connection to peripheral spaces is at the core of the 2026 edition, which will spotlight stories of ongoing fights from the margins of dominant cultural and political systems.
The program highlights cinema as a powerful communication tool, accessible and understandable to everyone, bringing political and social discussions out of exclusive academies and television news and back to the streets and independent cultural spaces. It focuses on short-term, low-budget alternative films, especially by younger authors, produced outside commercial or institutional frameworks.
Over three days of screenings, discussions, exhibitions, concerts, and community events, the Festival offers an inclusive gathering for filmmakers who believe in cinema made from the ground up, inventive, politically aware, socially engaged, and proudly rooted in marginal spaces.
