    IMDb

    A sports drama addressing the issue of the doping scheme ran by the Czech Republic’s communist regime.

    Czechoslovakia, the gray 1980s. Teenage Anna is a top sprinter and her trainer thinks she can go all the way to the Olympics. Her mother is also pinning her hopes on Anna’s success, seeing it as an opportunity for her daughter to live in the free world beyond the Iron Curtain. This vision is so strong that she willingly supports the doping programme the communist regime is testing on her daughter – although her health will clearly suffer.

    »It´s not only a film about doping. It is about freedom, ethics, lines that mustn’t be crossed, about a mother-daughter relationship, about the communist society.« (Andrea Sedláčková)

    Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

    Igor Bezinović

    Wednesday, 23. 07. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

    On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

    Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, but life separated them: Ingrid became a writer, and Martha a war correspondent. After years without contact, they meet again under unusual circumstances… Pedro Almodóvar’s latest creation is a story about the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, full of colour, light, and humour. The film won the Golden Lion in Venice and earned Tilda Swinton a Golden Globe nomination.
