Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival
The Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival is a specialised, non-competitive festival that focuses on presenting contemporary, geographically and aesthetically very heterogeneous film production. It was launched in 2004 in the small coastal town of Izola, and although it remains a relatively small festival, its specific film programme (which usually brings several hard-to-see films and many well-known international guests) attracts a broad national and international interest.
The festival takes place at the beginning of June, its principal venues are the Art kino Odeon Izola, the Izola Cultural Centre and Izola's Manzioli Square where the evening open-air screenings take place. Evening gatherings take place next to the Lighthouse, where a camp is set up.
