How to Catch a Bird

When I was eight; my dad taught me how to fish. He told me to take the worm off the hook after fishing, but I had no idea why. After fishing I forgot about the worm and left it dangling on the hook. If I only knew then what the consequence of this action would be.

Sisters

An animated triptych that evokes the atmosphere of old Dutch paintings, where sisters are trapped in melancholy, facing the loss and emptiness over the missing one.

Hearth

Three old women sitting in a boat, a man rowing. A girl smoking a cigarette on a rooftop. A family preparing for lunch together. An animated short, based on Ádám Bodor’s short story “Farm Girl”.

Lofty Thirst

In a dry world, water is key for survival. The water source is guarded so dearly by one species of desert-dwellers, who prevents others to benefit from it. Until one day their certainty depletes.

Why can't you just see me?

Ars moriendi

Only death may sweeten the hardships of tiring life. It may not, however, be a vulgar death, but exceptional and uplifting, ultimately dismissing the worries of this world. Is it possible to plan an ideal death? It is much more difficult to die than to live as presented in this perverse animation.

Les coeurs vaillants

Childhood friends Jo, J.G and Daniel have formed a rock group called 'Les Cœurs Vaillants'. They set off to go to their very first concert.

Alien

Walter Salles

Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. The Paiva family live a full and happy life in a house by the beach. One day, however, everything is turned upside-down when the military junta abducts the father. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) based his heartbreaking film on memoirs written by the son of the seven-member family. »An engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family.« – Screen Daily. »A gripping, profoundly touching film with a deep well of pathos. It’s one of Salles’ best.« – The Hollywood Reporter. Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

In September 1924, one of the greatest masterpieces of the silent era, F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, was shown in a cinema on Kolodvorska Street. One hundred years later, Kinodvor presents a new version of the expressionist classic as envisioned by Robert Eggers.

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Saturday, 02. 08. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
