Watching Films Together Again: Screenings at Art-kino Start on 26 May!

Art-kino is ready and happy to reopen its doors, and while following the necessary precautions, it brings to its viewers new and award-winning European films, with an inevitable programme for children and youth. Earlier than in previous years, the Summer Art-kino opens as well…

The film projector lights up again in Krešimirova 2 as the Art-kino venue reopens its doors to the audience on Tuesday, 26 May, after a two-month break! The repertoire includes new and award-winning European films, as well as the latest hits for children and youth over the weekend. On 1 June opens the summer oasis of film in Rijeka - the Summer Art-kino in the courtyard of the Capuchin monastery, from where a rich film programme will beautify Rijeka's evenings under a clear blue sky throughout the whole summer.

Inside programme brings…

The programme in the Art-kino venue starts on 26 May at 20:00 with the winner of the last year's Berlinale - the film Synonyms by Nadav Lapid. Based on the author’s actual experiences, the film tells the story of an Israeli who comes to Paris determined to erase his Israeli identity and past. However, in Lapid's eccentric and tragicomic story, the ghosts of the past do not disappear so easily.

On 27 May, at the same time as the previous day, the French-Italian documentary hit Selfie directed by Agostino Ferrente arrives on the programme, analysing the circumstances of the inadvertent murder of the 16-year-old Davide Bifolco during a police chase in the infamous Neapolitan Traiano district. In doing so, the director gives the two best friends of the deceased young man a mobile phone and a microphone with instructions to record their own lives as a selfie film. The result is an impressive and fun collage of adolescence, strong friendship and a life in which the future is often determined by the social and family environment.

Thursday, 29 May, brings the Italian crime drama Piranhas written by Roberto Saviano. Gomorrah’s father creates another realistic story of Neapolitan youth involved in teenage gangs whose life without a future currently brings easy money, fun and social status. The film was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Script at the last year’s Berlinale.

The youth programme starts on Friday, 29 May at 17:00 with the Swedish family comedy Sune vs. Sune about the hardships in life of the ten-year-old Sune, and on 31 May animated film Onward, by the author of the celebrated Monsters University, returns to the big screen of Art-kino. This animated hit by Disney and Pixar follows the adventures of two teenage elves in search of the remaining magic in the world around us.
