==Background==

The Minoriti Open Air Cinema is a successor of the ''Udarnik na prostem'' open air cinema, which was organised between 2010 and 2014 at [[Vetrinjski dvor]] by the team that ran [[Kino Udarnik]] at the time.

After [[Kino Udarnik]], the last old city cinema in the centre of Maribor, had to close because of the lack of financial support, the team around the [[Association for Film Culture Development, Maribor]] continued the initiative in order to show the best films of the year to the inhabitants and visitors of Maribor at least during summer. It joined forces with the public institution [[Maribor Puppet Theatre]], which provides the wonderful venue of the Minoriti auditorium, and the private company [[Projektor, d.o.o.]], which provides the screening and ticketing technology, to organise a two-month film event. The trio was joined by a local gastronomy provider and music events organiser [[Kooperativa Peron]] to care for the bar and additional events.
