Mediterranea Mediterranea

Jonas Carpignano / Italy, Qatar, Germany, USA, France / 2015 / 107 min / Slovene subtitles, Italian, English, Arabic, French / 16+

Ayiva recently left his home in Burkina Faso in search of a way to provide for his sister and daughter. He takes advantage of his position in an illegal smuggling operation to get himself and his best friend Abas off the continent. The migrants are captured by the Italian border police and taken to aliens centre. In order to stay in the ‘promised’ land Ayiva and Abas have to find contract work within three months, but when tensions with the local community rise, things become increasingly dangerous.

Filmmaker Jonas Carpignano’s feature debut graphically depicts Europe’s ruthless immigration policy. 

"The goal for me was never to make something overly didactic and to try and change the policy in Italy. For me it’s enough if people stop looking at this as a group of migrants, or immigrants, and start thinking of them as individual people. I think that the more we can identify and see some of ourselves in their experience, the more compassion people will have." (Jonas Carpignano)

Bong Joon Ho

Sunday, 24. 08. 2025 / 19:00 / Main Hall

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.
