Mestni kino Metropol was the first cinema hall in Slovenia that introduced the arthouse film programming. That happened in 2002, one year before Kinodvor Cinema was reopened in Ljubljana as an art cinema hall. What may appear surprisingly at first (knowing the situation in Slovenia) becomes clearer if we know that in the past the city of Celje was also one of the first Slovene cities to host touring cinema screenings.


A short trip in the past

The first recorded screening took place in November 1896 in the garden salon of the White Ox Hotel. Then in 1930 the first sound film screening was organised at the Dom Cinema. The Kino Metropol itself was established in 1936 in a building conceived by Jože Plečnik. From 1973 to 1989 the Kino Metropol hosted - together with the Union Cinema and the Dom Cinema - the National Film Week (Teden domačega filma, TDF), an eminent meeting of all filmmakers in the former Yugoslavia. In 2003 Kino Metropol hosted the 6th edition of the Festival of Slovene Film, and, as an integral part of it, a retrospective of all the winning films of the TDF as well as Festival of Slovene Film winners.


In 1997 the Kino Metropol was renovated to accommodate 288 seats and modern screening equipment. After the opening of the first Celje multiplex cinema called Planet Tuš, the Metropol was converted into an arthouse cinema. It was initially managed by Planet Tuš, then closed for some months. In July 2004 it was taken over by Filter Society (DZU Filter), the NGO that runs the nearby Stane Internet cafe. In September 2004 the entrance hall and the coffee house were renovated.


Nowadays

Today the Kino Metropol programme features auteur films as well as commercial movies. Beside it's regular programme it has also a special one for films made by young filmmakers who utilise new digital technology. It also hosts other events, including concerts, book presentations and exhibitions. In 2007 DZU Filter launched a small specialised competitive video film festival called Electric Rats Dream Video Dreams. In 2009, from July 2nd to July 5th, the third edition of the festival took place but without the international competition programme. The cinema is a member of the Artkino mreža (Art Cinema Network), which distributes selected high-quality films around Slovenia.
