Dance of Death

For thrill-seeking young Sally, faced with a welter of variety, sports and news programmes, changing TV channels itself becomes a Dance of Death. As a reminder of our mortality, the human skeleton has long had a place in art, folklore and humour. This cartoon on television violence features the skeletal entertainer Don Death himself.

The Darra Dogs

When my brothers and I grew up in Darra in the 1950s, every house seemed to have a dog. They were friends who shared our lives and explorations, and roamed free. None of them lasted very long. The Darra Dogs remembers the mortal terrors of childhood, the sadness of death and loss, the not-knowing of so much – and the dogs themselves.

His Mother’s Voice

Originally a radio interview, Kathy Easdale’s monologue describes how she found out about the death of her son Matthew. Kathy builds a detailed and compelling account of hope, discovery and grief; breath by breath she declares her love for her son. His Mother's Voice uses the same voice twice, with two different narratives and different approaches to colour, cutting and sound, to present two views of love and death.

Into the Dark

In a hospital emergency, surrounded by frantic activity and noise, a man nears death. Spiked with hallucinations, his mind also goes back to the calm evenings of his childhood. Under the tree he would wait for the birds and shoot them with his air-rifle. In the bathroom – deaf, blind and naked – he would become airborne and feel nothing.

Chainsaw

Frank and Ava Gardner live out in the Australian countryside, amongst the kookaburras and the cattle. Their jobs are menial, but they are true romantics at heart. Moving between fact and fiction, Hollywood and Spain, past and present, Chainsaw is a chain of stories about romance and celebrity, machismo and chainsaws, fantasy and death. And how the natural world endures.

Walter Salles

Thursday, 31. 07. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. The Paiva family live a full and happy life in a house by the beach. One day, however, everything is turned upside-down when the military junta abducts the father. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) based his heartbreaking film on memoirs written by the son of the seven-member family. »An engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family.« – Screen Daily. »A gripping, profoundly touching film with a deep well of pathos. It’s one of Salles’ best.« – The Hollywood Reporter. Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

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.
