Cinemini: Time Machine Cinemini: Časovni stroj

razno / various / 2020 / 26 min / No dialogue / 3+

A cinema is a magical time machine – let’s quickly jump on it. The train takes us to the time of cinema’s birth and drops us off in a burlesque with an impish wheel. We curiously observe our parents’ games and make friends with a little alien. Quickly, come play with us, for we’re in a rush.

A programme of carefully selected short films from European film archives with guided conversations. The Cinemini European project brings a playful film programme, ranging from tiny stories from the time of our grandparents to interesting films by contemporary artists.

The Hamburg-based director of Palestinian-Syrian descent places the second instalment of his Homeland trilogy on a small, flood-prone island in the Wadden Sea. This melancholic, mood-driven film about exile and the scars it leaves behind features a charismatic performance by the legendary Hanna Schygulla. 

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Friday, 19. 09. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

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.
