Weasel
Timon Leder, Slovenia, 2016, 11'35”, no dialogues
A hungry weasel attacks a flock of birds living on a tree, the last one still standing upright. The birds in the canopy are trying to keep the tree in balance, while the weasel is persistently trying to climb up its trunk. Its persistence is putting the tree’s fragile balance ever more at risk, and its growling stomach is not letting up until it is too late.

Oh, So Convenient
Hung Huei Jen Red, Taiwan/Estonia, 2022, 4'35'', no dialogues
A man has a unique way of using toilet paper after pooping. A couple always order food delivery because they don’t like to put on clothes. A family has a way of avoiding washing dishes. A woman likes her table to be sparkly clean. Too much waste? No problem, flush it all down the toilet!

Orgiastic Hyper-Plastic
Paul Bush, Danska, GB, 2020, 6'50”, subtitles
An animated extravaganza of plastic collected from beaches, roadsides, attics and junk shops. This is an elegy to a love affair that has gone sour, a fond farewell to that most beautiful material that has enslaved our planet – plastic.

Hedgehogs and the City
Evalds Lacis, Latvia, 2013, 10’, no dialogues
One spring morning, animals wake up from their winter sleep and find that their forest is taken over by people who have built a city there. They understand they need to find new survival strategies. How will they manage?

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

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.

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.
