Competition Programme

Listen
A foreign woman in a burqa brings her young son to a Copenhagen police station to file a complaint against her abusive husband, but the translator seems unwilling to convey the true meaning of her words. A tense, diamond-hard film about cultural isolation and bureaucratic ignorance.

Art
Two film directors agree that they have found the perfect 13-year-old girl to star in their new movie. Now, they have to convince the reluctant mother to let her daughter play the role of a sexually abused child.

S
Set in London, a raw and uncompromising docudrama about an Eastern-European sex worker and her pimp. A politically and socially conscious account of one of the most worrying phenomena in 21st-century Europe, it concentrates on two individuals and their soul-killing love-hate relationship.

The Runner
The first breath is a decision. Each subsequent breath is a struggle for a goal that’s still out of sight. A struggle for life. He is a former professional runner. A marathon runner. He reveals his suffering, pain and effort, the crucial elements of each and every race.

Apparitions
An investigation into the issue of appearances, what they are or might be. A cinematic documentation of the verbs ‘appear’ and ‘disappear’. A collage-like short film, an associative definition, a visual thought-process, the physics of illusion.

What's On

Third World Treći svijet

Arsen Oremović

Sunday, 06. 09. 2026 / 18:00 / Small Hall

Third World is more than just a documentary about Haustor, the legendary Zagreb band that left its mark on the former Yugoslavia’s music scene. It is the story of two creative opposites: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher. Through candid conversations, a studio reunion, and a wealth of archival material, the film reveals how the two artists’ sensitivity to the magic of everyday life once united their creative worlds – creating a third.

Father Mother Sister Brother Father Mother Sister Brother

Jim Jarmusch

Sunday, 06. 09. 2026 / 19:00 / Main Hall

Father Mother Sister Brother is a triptych: three stories about the relationships between adult children and their somewhat distant parents. A series of character studies, quiet, observational, and non-judgmental—a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Or, in the words of its American indie auteur, “a kind of anti-action film”. Golden Lion Winner at the last Venice Film Festival.

Rebecca Zlotowski

Monday, 07. 09. 2026 / 15:45 / Main Hall

When prominent psychiatrist Lilian Steiner learns of the death of one of her patients, the news deeply shakes her. Convinced that it is a murder, she decides to investigate the matter.
