Changes
Days of Ethnographic Film are changing. They are adapting to changes in the field of visual ethnography, and the same time also to their hosting conditions and environment.
The biggest news is that the event will become biennial in form. Continue reading
Special screenings of film Still
Triglav National Park (TNP) has organized special screenings in their information centers in Bled, Bohinj and Trenta. They choose film Still by Matti Bauer, which is showing a fragment of life in similar mountainous region in Germany. It was promotion of our festival but above all approach to audience, which is not regular visitor of ethnographic festivals or cinema. We would like to thanks Ana Kunstelj, the organizer of the event, for opportunity and her commitment to ethnographic films.

Selection and anti-selection
DEF is a festival without awards for several reasons: among others, because its organisers feel that awards may inadvertently create an unproductive hierarchy in a festival whose essential mission is to explore diverse visual ethnographic approaches. This diversity has become increasingly prominent in recent years, and is hard to assimilate and structure. Continue reading
Festival: 10th – 13th March 2015
The selector of the DEF Festival, Naško Križnar, has completed his selection of films for the festival program. In the coming days we will contact all authors and coordinate any additional details, then we will release the list of selected films.
Every year we are amazed by the amount of high quality films. This is a pleasant surprise, but in the same time it quite complicates the selection process. In the next days we will post a selector’s report, which will summarize his general observations about his few weeks long living with submitted films.
DEF Festival will take place from Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th March 2015. The projections will take place in the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana, the program will start in the morning and end in the evening. Shortly we will release the schedule of projections.
