The Volta Cinema Kino Volta

Martin Turk / Slovenia, Italy / 2024 / 85 min / Italian, Slovene, English

In 1909, in Trieste, the main port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, four bold entrepreneurs met with a young English teacher, James Joyce. He proposed that they invest in the first permanent cinema in Ireland: Kino Volta. Martin Turk’s film is not a historical documentary about the birth of cinema but a nostalgic and playful evocation of the spirit of those who were part of the story.

Sex, Love and Dreams—not necessarily in that order—are the chapters in a loosely connected trilogy set in contemporary Oslo. In Sex, an intimate conversation between two men sparks a witty and refreshingly honest reflection on sexuality and gender roles in our society.
