Morning
Vojtěch Domlátil (self-produced)
Czech Republic, 2019, 3'33"

Morning. Coffee. Breakfast. Shower. And then? A trip outside? Or a trip inside? A breathing meditation wrapped in the disguise of a feather-light experimental drawing animation.

Portrait En Pied De Suzanne / Portrait of Suzanne
Izabela Plucińska (Clay Traces/Films de Force Majeure/The Las Sztuki Foundation)
Germany, France, Poland, 2019, 14'55"

In a small hotel, a man tries to stop his hunger for love by eating excessively. Unexpectedly, his left foot transforms into his lost lover, Suzanne. Still, this is just the beginning of a surreal story, made of plasticine, about loneliness, jealousy and love.

Radiovizija – Govori Mihovil Logar / Radiovision – Mihovil Logar Speaking
Miloš Tomić (Platforma)
Serbia, 2019, 3'01"

A free animation play with broken plastic pieces, broken glass, crystal decorations, feathers, old photos and gummy candy ... as an attempt to summarize the rich and music-dedicated life of Mihovil Logar.

Passage
Anja Sidler (Schattenkabinett)
Switzerland, 2019, 6'40"

Two very different people set off on an adventure and leave their familiar environment behind. Unexpectedly, their paths cross. A film about yearning for change and the value of coincidence in a society shaped by individual development and the pressure to achieve.

Liliana
Milanka Fabjančič (Zvviks)
Slovenia, 2019, 6'53"

Young Liliana is the epitome of modesty, dedication, and hard work. These facets are even more pronounced because of her desire to achieve her goal. The tale lies beyond time and space, nostalgically reminding us of the past.

Kosmonaut / Cosmonaut
Kaspar Jancis (Eesti Joonisfilm)
Estonia, 2019, 11'37"

A hero remains a hero. The story of a senior soviet spaceman.

Lidérc úr / Mr. Mare
Luca Tóth (Boddah/Sacrebleu Productions)
Hungary, France, 2019, 19'33"

Looking at an x-ray image, a young handsome man is horrified to learn that the weird, tumour-like lump on his chest is the top of a tiny plump man’s head. Nested in his body, he is waiting to be born… Mr. Mare is a surreal animated chamber play, set in a ‘haunted’ claustrophobic space, in which we witness the dynamics of unrequited love as we follow the relationship of an oddly co-dependent pair.

What's On

The Secret Agent O agente secreto

Kleber Mendonça Filho

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 17:15 / Main Hall

Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius) vividly conjures the colours, smells and sounds of 1970s Brazil – a time “when the walls had ears and any movement could be suspicious”. The Secret Agent is an unpredictable and witty political thriller, but above all, a loving portrait of a place and its people. Winner of Best Director and Best Actor at Cannes, as well as Best Actor (Drama) and Best Non-English Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 19:30 / Small Hall

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

Premiere

A Poet Un poeta

Simón Mesa Soto

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 20:30 / Main Hall

A film that captures the poetic reality of a neurotic poet, skilfully blending cringe comedy with an emotionally resonant story of lost and rediscovered hope. A singular work with an unforgettable central character.
