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.

Edmond

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

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.
