On 23, 24 and 25 August 2016, at 21.00, Kinodvor invites you to the Open-air Cinema Congress Square. The screening of three film classics is admission free.

On Tuesday, 23 August, the Open-air Cinema Congress Square is opening with the commemorative premiere of the restored and digitalised film The Valley of Peace (Dolina miru) by France Štiglic under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of making the film which at the Cannes Film Festival received the Award for Best Actor. The screening also commemorates the Day or Remembrance for victims of all totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
Honorary guests, actors Eveline Wohlfeiler and Tugo Štiglic, who portrayed Lotti and Marko in the film, are also going to attend the premiere, and thus meeting for the first time in Slovenia since the film was made sixty years ago.
The next day the film Fantastic Mr. Fox directed by Wes Anderson, one of the most influential and original American filmmakers of his generation, is marking the centennial of the birth of the famous British writer of Norwegian descent Roald Dahl.
On Thursday, 25 August, the Open-air Cinema Congress Square concludes with the timeless classic Safety Last! from the golden age of silent film comedies, which made the unforgettable Harold Lloyd into a film star, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Slovenian Cinematheque. The film, boasting one of the most iconic shots ever filmed with »the third genius« of silent cinema dangling from the hands of a clock on a skyscraper at a dizzying height, is going to be accompanied live on piano by Neil Brand, one of the world’s leading silent film accompanists.
All three films are going to be screened at 21.00 in their original language with Slovenian or English subtitles.
The film classics are going to be screened at Congress Square even in rain, and in case of bad weather which would prevent the life piano accompaniment the screening is going to be moved to the Slovenian Philharmonic.
