Beauty
A short story of the most important emotions of life, from birth to death, love and sexuality through pain and fear. It is a tribute to art and its disarming beauty.

The Time Tunnel
A crazy road-movie that seems to melt down into an abstract painting. Dirk Koy straps a camera onto a car wheel and rides off – from 0 to 140 km/h, to the driving sounds of Boris Blank. Apart from cuts, cross-fades and colour corrections, there is no digital enhancement. A symbiosis of shot images and their abstraction.

Hippos
A few naked women and children are bathing in a river. They are being secretly observed by a group of men, who at one point decide to approach them, in a violent manner, as if inspired by the behaviour of hippopotamuses.

Thousand
All is grey.
The sun has not been rising for years.
There is a legend going around the city: Paint the sun a 1000 times and it will rise again.

The Wait of May
The month of May, the blackbird: they hide while they sing.

Papa
Mother tries to keep together a family that is falling to pieces, a nearly impossible task if the other side is not making an equal effort. The child would miss love, while still trying to trust and love a person that might have never existed. There has been only imagination and hope that this person might be alive. He is being waited for... endlessly. What happens when he is finally there?

Timber
A group of logs is about to freeze to death in a cold, icy desert. When they realize that the only fuel for a warming fire is their own body, things start heating up.

Crackhouse
They say cats have nine lives.

Fat & Skinny
The title characters are boys who live their lives in the rhythm of their strange habits. They think that existence without these daily rituals would be impossible. A film about the search for ways to satisfy some inner hunger the boys are coping with. In order to discover the dark secrets they are hiding, one must look back.

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.
