    Flow Straume

    Gints Zilbalodis / Latvia, France, Belgium / 2024 / 84 min / No dialogue / 8+

    Cat is a solitary animal. However, as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences. In this lonesome boat sailing through mystical flooded landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world. »A survival epic full of mysteries and magic, it’s an animated epic worthy of Ghibli.« – Time Out. »One of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too.« – IndieWire. Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

    This is a journey full of obstacles, but also of beauty and tenderness, offering a much-needed reflection on the importance of community in building new worlds. An Annecy award-winning film that does not impose human qualities on animals, but simply lets them be what they are: animals.

    Director's Statement
    I feel like it can go deeper in the subconscious than live action could. Animation is not as affected by cultural or language barriers as live action is. It can be much more universal and primal. But at the same time, I don't think it should be seen as something different. It's just another storytelling technique. I felt that Flow’s story could only be done in animation because of the animals and the camera moves I had in mind. I hope that it is not going to be perceived only as an animated film because it's very much influenced by live action movies. So Flow is like all my live action and animated movies influences mixed together.

    Not everything is explained in the film. We don't really explain why the flood comes, what it means, or the signification of the statues that the characters discover. There are some hints here and there, why they might be there, but it's not really explained. I'm not interested in making a puzzle that the audience has to solve. Flow is not about finding out the meaning, it's about embracing the whole experience.

    The title reflects the road movie aspect of the film, since the action is set mostly in this boat moving forwards constantly. The road movie aspect is important, because we get to discover all these different environments, and because there are no dialogues. 

    We wanted to avoid showing animals behaving like humans or have them think the way humans do. The characters' goals are primal and very simple, which is necessary, since we do not use dialogues. But although the characters have simple goals, it does not mean they are less deep, less significant. In other words, it's simple, not simplistic. We want to use these basic ideas and have enough time to fully explore them. We do not rush over them.

    Chloé Zhao

    Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) imagines how a tragedy from Shakespeare’s real life might have inspired the creation of his timeless masterpiece Hamlet. Starring the exceptional Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, the film is a moving story about love, loss, and the healing power of art.

    Venom Gift

    Knud Leif Thomsen

    Friday, 13. 02. 2026 / 17:45 / Main Hall

    Thomsen’s Danish-style Teorema (1968) predating Pasolini’s is as double-edged as its title (gift meaning both “poison” and “married”). The director conceived it as a polemical tract against pornography and the moral decay of Danish society. But by filling it with nudity and hardcore snippets, he ironically paved the way for a censorship-free Denmark, which in 1969 became the first country to legalize pornography. The censors covered the explicit scenes with thick white crosses (making them somehow even more obscene). And it is precisely on such a historical 35mm print that we will have the pleasure to see the film!

    Six Swedish Girls in a Boarding School Sechs Schwedinnen im Pensionat

    Erwin C. Dietrich

    Friday, 13. 02. 2026 / 20:10 / Main Hall

    The first lady of French porno chic, Brigitte Lahaie, returns in the original instalment of the cheeky fan favourite Six Swedish Girls at a Boarding School—taking place before the young Swedes found employment at a gas station and well-deserved holidays in Ibiza and the Alps. Directed by the “Swiss Roger Corman”, Erwin C. Dietrich, the evergreen hit from our Socialist past and the once notorious erotic Kino Sloga is bursting at the seams with zany humour, mechanical invention, and healthy minds in oh, such healthy bodies.
