What's On

Nosferatu Nosferatu

Robert Eggers

Friday, 01. 08. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

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.
