The Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema International Film Festival has been exploring the art of film since 2004<\/strong>, discovering various film expressions in the company of filmmakers and an audience of all generations. Our programme is centred on world, European and Slovenian auteur cinema, which we understand as both art and an influential medium that reflects society, culture and life in general. We endeavour to raise key questions about and in relation to film, without imposing the answers; rather, we encourage an in-depth dialogue and critical reflection.<\/p>\n

A decade ago, we at Isola Cinema decided not to continue with the competition<\/strong> section and so we no longer confer any awards. Today, the festival is thus an open space for showing and mediating films, one that promotes the equality of different expressions and modes of reflection that broaden our views and freshen our thoughts. A carefully curated programme of each edition includes around eighty films of all lengths, most of which are shown in Slovenia for the first time. The festival\u2019s Mediterranean character is manifested in the balance between ease and temperament, which functions as our magic formula \u2013 whoever visits us wants to return again and again.<\/p>\n

The main part of the 19th<\/sup> edition of Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema will take place between 5 and 9 June 2024<\/strong>\u00a0in Izola<\/strong>, but some of the screenings and meetings with filmmakers will also take place in May and June 2023 at the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor City Cinema in Ljubljana<\/strong> and at the art cinemas in Cerknica<\/strong>, Idrija<\/strong>, Se\u017eana<\/strong> and Tolmin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
