Log Jam: The Snake
Alexei Alexeev (Studio Baestarts)
Hungary, 2008, 1'

A Girl Named Elastika
Guillaume Blanchet (Guillaume Blanchet)
Canada, 2013, 3'30''

Elastika is not like any other little girl. First, because she is made of elastics. Also because her universe is a land of cork. Her journey is also one of a kind, as she jumps from one building to another, crosses an ocean solo or travels to space holding on to a firework rocket. Her adventure, shot in stop motion, required over 10,000 pictures.

Canada, Croatia, 2017, 10'08"

What's On

The Secret Agent O agente secreto

Kleber Mendonça Filho

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 17:15 / Main Hall

Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius) vividly conjures the colours, smells and sounds of 1970s Brazil – a time “when the walls had ears and any movement could be suspicious”. The Secret Agent is an unpredictable and witty political thriller, but above all, a loving portrait of a place and its people. Winner of Best Director and Best Actor at Cannes, as well as Best Actor (Drama) and Best Non-English Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 19:30 / Small Hall

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

Premiere

A Poet Un poeta

Simón Mesa Soto

Tuesday, 10. 03. 2026 / 20:30 / Main Hall

A film that captures the poetic reality of a neurotic poet, skilfully blending cringe comedy with an emotionally resonant story of lost and rediscovered hope. A singular work with an unforgettable central character.
