20th edition of the K3 Film Festival:
Five Days of Cinema from the Alps-Adriatic Region
From 2 to 6 December 2026, the K3 Film Festival celebrates its 20th edition in Villach. Over five days, it brings together films from Carinthia, Slovenia and Friuli Venezia Giulia: from the eagerly awaited Carinthian premiere of MILA/MARIJA to world and Austrian premieres, the short film competition, expanded cinema, the anniversary gala and awards ceremony.
At its heart are the diversity of filmmaking in the Alps-Adriatic region and encounters between audiences and filmmakers – across linguistic and geographical borders.
