My Robot Brother Robotbror

Frederik Meldal Nørgaard / Denmark / 2022 / 84 min / Slovene subtitles, English Subtitles, Danish / 9+

The near future. The climate crisis has been solved, and mankind lives in harmony with nature. No one wastes their time with menial tasks like cooking, children learn meditation at school, and in the evenings, the ceiling turns into a virtual star-filled sky. Parents spend most of their time in virtual reality, and children have robots as companions.

For 12-year-old Alberte, this doesn't make everyday school life any easier. She is ashamed of her robot companion Robbi, whose outdated operating system attracts the ridicule of her classmates – he looks like a giant teddy bear, never stops telling fairy stories and wants to be friends with everyone. Improvement seems to be in sight when she receives the perfect birthday present from her parents: Konrad, a brand-new android model that looks and acts completely as if he were human! With him at her side, Alberte's popularity soars and an intimate bond develops between the two. But can the connection between Alberte and Konrad hold up to a real friendship?

“Our goal was to create a refurbished, recycled future, a clash of different periods – the 70s, 80s, 90s,… Robbi is the result of that. But even more importantly, Robbi represents Alberte’s innocence and purity. She is caught between childhood and adulthood, a difficult and insecure period in life, which is why she feels attracted to the ‘cooler’ kids.” (Frederik Meldal Norgaard)

Six years after Parasite, Korean director Bong Joon-ho is back with another biting satire (this time set in the distant future) with Robert Pattinson shining in the leading role(s). Its unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. »Combining the best parts of Snowpiercer and Okja into something new, this warm and wonderful film suggests that Bong loves people even more than he hates capitalism.« – IndieWire.

Additional Screening

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Monday, 25. 08. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

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.
