| + | The [[Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival|Kino Otok – Isola Cinema International Film Festival]] has been exploring the art of film since [[Established::2004]], discovering various film expressions in the company of filmmakers and an audience of all generations. It focuses on world, European, and Slovenian auteur cinema. Each edition features a carefully curated non-competitive program, including around eighty films of all lengths, most of which are shown in Slovenia for the first time. The festival’s Mediterranean character is manifested in the balance between ease and temperament, which functions as its magic formula – whoever visits it wants to return again and again. | ||

| + | The main part of the [[Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival]] takes place at the beginning of June in Izola, while some of the screenings and meetings with filmmakers also occur in May and June at the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor City Cinema in Ljubljana, as well as at the art cinemas in Cerknica, Idrija, Sežana, and Tolmin. | ||

The festival's film programme in Izola consists of roughly 11 sections: the main section, ''Arrigoni,'' showcases selected titles of European and world cinema with the potential to win the hearts and minds of the general audience. Films and directors presented in the ''Signals'' section distinguish themselves with highly authentic cinematic language. The ''Friends'' section consists of carte blanches given to distinguished European film critics, programmers, and filmmakers, who invite and present a film and its author(s). The ''Good Neighbours'' section is dedicated to the intriguing collective cinema evolution in our physical or symbolic vicinity. The ''Silvan’s Bay'' section is an open space for a wider experience of film through other forms of art. ''35mm Cult-ure'' presents important films from film history in their original formats, as well as new films dedicated to the culture of analogue filmmaking and cinema-going. ''Home Sweet Home'' focuses on promoting Slovenian talent to the international festival community. ''Chiaro-Oscuro'' discloses themes that lurk in the shadows of everyday discourse. ''Europe 2.0'' consists of a double bill including a restored film classic and a more contemporary film that resonate thematically. The short films section, ''Video on the Beach,'' is designed as a lively open platform for young filmmakers and provides a valuable overview of the latest developments in the independent scene. ''Submarine – Otok For Kids'' is dedicated to children, youth, families, as well as culture and film educators in Slovenia. | ||
