Ester Ivakič’s Slovenian/Croatian coproduction Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song will open the festival and will also compete for awards.

The 73 films in the competition and 49 out films of the competition will be screened at Avditorij Portorož (Main Hall) and Magazin Grando.

This year, the Milka and Metod Badjura Lifetime Achievement Award will go to Janez Kovič for his achievement as set production designer and producer.

Panels, discussions and professional meetings will address topics such as the impact of artificial intelligence on filmmaking and postproduction, film heritage and digitalisation, ethical standards in film production, and international cooperation. International networking will take place through events such as the "SloViet Connect: Film between Slovenia and Vietnam" meeting.
