G-FEST will take place from the 24th to the 26th of May 2012 at the breath-taking scenery of Slovenia’s largest baroque castle in Grad in Goričko Natural Park, in castle’s magnificent rooms, in the picturesque auditorium of the courtyard, the site of a major energy point, where the radiating vibrations are said to be able to cure various ailments, and in the beautiful castle park, a true work of art in itself.
Our film program will offer a wide selection of nature and environmental films, from attractive nature documentaries and short films in the competition program, to astounding eco-shockers, environmentally themed animated films, retrospectives of older nature and environmental films and films from other similarly-themed festivals from the wider area.
Our rich accompanying program will feature numerous workshops and shows, stands offering delicious goods from the local ecological farms, organic and ecological cuisine and various sustainable activities in the Fairy Park with special attention given to families and children. For enhanced visual pleasure, there will be an exhibition of photographs chosen at The Best Photo of Goričko and Porabje contest. On top of all this, the festival will also host the 44th »A Song Knows No Border« Choir Contest, while our closing ceremony will also feature the 5th International Contest of Three-lateral Park wines and Neighbour Wine Counties award ceremony.

The KahBang Film Festival is one portion of the KahBang Music-Art-Film Festival, happening this August 5th - 13th 2011, in downtown Bangor, Maine. KahBang is not just another festival. It is a brand. A brand built around discovering "the next big thing" in the arts and entertainment worlds.

The KahBang Film Festival is 9 days of films that we think are cool. Some are cool for different reasons, others are cool for the same reasons, while still others are both at the same time. If it makes us laugh, if it makes us think, if someone blackmailed us to screen it, we share it with you. If you don't like it, we'll give you a refund (please note: The KahBang Festival does not offer refunds).

At the end of the day, we love films, we love filmmakers with vision, and we love Milk Duds. Our festival pays tribute to the iconic artists, the emerging auteur and even the epic fail. We hope you will join us this August and discover "cool" the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
