Leisure cinema viewing.
Contexto cultural
Slovenians often watch movies in 'Letni kino' (open-air cinemas) during the summer, especially in Ljubljana Castle. The Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFE) is the biggest cinematic event where 'gledati film' becomes a national pastime. Slovenian households rarely have dubbed movies, so children grow up 'watching movies' with subtitles, aiding their literacy. Older generations still enjoy 'Partizanski filmi', a genre of movies about WWII resistance in Yugoslavia.
