G-FEST is a cultural bound between Porabje and Goričko regions, between film and nature, between people and landscape.
G-FEST is dedicated to nature films in all of their diversity and technical expressiveness. The film program will be complemented by numerous accompanying events. The main theme of the festival as a whole will be raising the awareness of sustainable development.
From the very start, the festival aims to become the central nature and environmental event of the region, and at the same time a referential nature-themed film festival in the wider geographical area. Naturally, it will take many years of endeavor, constant program growth and upgrading, and last but not least also the traditional placement of the event into local environment. We will do our best to systematically raise our visitors’ and general public’s awareness of the cultural and natural resources of our region and global ecological trends. By doing so, we are hoping to upgrade regional endeavors for ecological coexistence with nature, encourage sustainable development and strengthen a healthy pride of cultural and natural resources of the region.
The program will consist of three days which will mark the European Day of Parks, Day of Youth and Day of Celebration. The site of the festival will be the largest baroque castle in Slovenia, in a landscape which could be described as heaven on earth.
