Competitive Programme

Six Day Run
A film about one of the most extreme individual endurance sports dating back to the 1870s is loosely based on the Genesis creation narrative in the Bible (Genesis 1:1 – 2:3). During the event, 35 runners from different countries run laps around a one-mile paved loop in a park. The runners test the limits of their endurance and ability to recover from the stress of constantly moving. They run with minimal sleep all the while trying to accumulate as many miles as possible.

Every True Poet
An experimental portrait of Tomaž Šalamun, Slovenia’s greatest living poet and one of the most influential bards writing in the world today. The film combines documentary elements with a dramatic narrative inspired by Šalamun’s poetry to explore his creative vision and profound message as an artist. The film’s title is taken from one of Šalamun’s most famous lines: “Every true poet is a monster.”

Tokyo Giants
Subverting dramaturgical conventions in his Plot Point trilogy, Provost presents the man in the street as a film protagonist. After New York (Plot Point) and Las Vegas (Stardust) he takes his hidden camera to the hyperkinetic streets of Tokyo in search for the mystery of reality. A serial killer, a rapist, a terrorist, a cult, the Yakuza, what they all have in common is that their paths cross and merge into a powerful climax that cannot be resolved.

Butter Lamp
A young photographer creates staged portraits in a Tibetan mountain village. The backdrops, which include national monuments, Disney figures and tropical islands, are lowered using a squeaky pulley. Prayer wheels or shiny sunglasses show a cultural tradition subjected to modern influences.

Tiger Fight
It was an ordinary working day for the onetime famous Tamil film director Sharma up to the moment when the Tiger Dancer Kader appeared in his office to ask for an acting chance. Due to his arrogance towards Kader, Sharma misses his opportunity for a bright comeback. The film is a tribute to the South Indian “Kollywood”.

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.

Nosferatu Nosferatu

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.
