Open-air Cinema at Congress Square
Kinodvor organises the admission-free Open-Air Cinema at Congress Square to mark important historical anniversaries. On this year’s opening night, we mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II with Charlie Chaplin’s visionary satire The Great Dictator (1940). The following night, we present John Sturges’ Western adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven (1960) to pay tribute to the legendary actor Yul Brunner on the occasion of his centenary. As a prelude to the retrospective of his opus at the Slovenian Cinematheque in early autumn, we will screen Fellini’s Rome (1972) to mark the 100th anniversary of the maestro’s birth.
Organized for the first time on the occasion of Kinodvor’s 90 anniversary, our open-air cinema screens a series of all-time film classics in one of Ljubljana’s most beautiful squares. We are delighted to offer free admission to allow everyone to join us in celebrating the art of film.
