Kinki
An abstract animated film that combines the genres of horror and psychological thriller. The main character, a murderer, records images in his mind which he then uses to reconstruct his crimes. This film attempts to contemplate the real objects (set here and now), which are completely different from the distorted images stored in the killer’s mind.

The Swamp
Inspired by a drawing of the same name by Alfred Kubin. A young woman traverses a bleak swamp. She knows very well that under no circumstances she may awaken what lurks in the deep.

Velodrool
An addicted biker runs out of cigarettes. He joins a race to get more, but has to take help from some peculiar people in the audience to stay in the competition.

The Potato Eaters
A homage to Vincent Willem van Gogh, the artist who walked the land of Brabant.

Ama
1950: On the coast of Japan, an American woman is visiting a village with her military husband and a group of friends. Breaking away from the group, she meets with Namiko, a young ama fisherwoman.

Decipere
Inspired by John Cage's pieces that broke the conventional rules of music, and texts by Gi Negrão that attach to the line movements and unusual dimensions. Entitled Decipere, Latin for deceive, mislead, the film explores the initial impression created by a line, breaking the apparent linearity, showing the potential with the emergence of forms of different dimensions.

Pekk
The woman wishes to dance but there is no music. She sends her husband outside to feed the bird so the neighbour could come to visit. And that's how the love triangle emerges.

Bend Don´t Break
A prince made of wire adapts himself to his particular counterpart during a dance. His shape is transformed and deformed because of inner and outer influences till the inevitable happens.

La Petite Maison
A young man can’t help but see his girlfriend as various objects – including a French tart. Perception, misunderstanding and indifference are explored in this darkly funny animation about the foibles of romance.

Armenian Papers

What Happens In Your Brain If You See a German Word Like...?
A surrealistic trip into the world of an extremely long German word.

The Great Harlot and the Beast

Bong Joon Ho

Saturday, 26. 07. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

Six years after Parasite, Korean director Bong Joon-ho is back with another biting satire (this time set in the distant future) with Robert Pattinson shining in the leading role(s). Its unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. »Combining the best parts of Snowpiercer and Okja into something new, this warm and wonderful film suggests that Bong loves people even more than he hates capitalism.« – IndieWire.
