Our programme is centred on world, European and Slovenian auteur cinema, which we understand as both art and an influential medium that reflects society, culture and life in general. We endeavour to raise key questions about and in relation to film, without imposing the answers; rather, we encourage an in-depth dialogue and critical reflection.<\/p>\n<p>A decade ago, we at Isola Cinema decided <strong>not to continue with the competition<\/strong> section and so we no longer confer any awards. Today, the festival is thus an open space for showing and mediating films, one that promotes the equality of different expressions and modes of reflection that broaden our views and freshen our thoughts. A carefully curated programme of each edition includes around eighty films of all lengths, most of which are shown in Slovenia for the first time. The festival\u2019s Mediterranean character is manifested in the balance between ease and temperament, which functions as our magic formula \u2013 whoever visits us wants to return again and again.<\/p>\n<p>The main part of the 1<sup>9th<\/sup> edition of Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema will take place<strong> between 7 and 11 June 2023<\/strong> in <strong>Izola<\/strong>, but some of the screenings and meetings with filmmakers will also take place in May and June 2023 at the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor City Cinema in <strong>Ljubljana<\/strong> and at the art cinemas in <strong>Cerknica<\/strong>, <strong>Idrija<\/strong>, <strong>Se\u017eana<\/strong> and <strong>Tolmin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 19<sup>th<\/sup> Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema International Film Festival is<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an exciting film programme that takes place under the stars in the Arrigoni Open-air Cinema and Manzioli Open.air Cinema, and in the haven of the Odeon Art Cinema and the House of Culture,<\/li>\n<li>a selection of short films by rising independent filmmakers in a relaxed atmosphere of Video on the Beach,<\/li>\n<li>Submarine \u2013 a programme of films and activities for children, young people and families,<\/li>\n<li>PRO OTOK \u2013 a programme for film professionals and all who are interested in a film\u2019s path from the idea to the screen and beyond,<\/li>\n<li>the festival feel in Izola\u2019s streets, the artistic atmosphere in Izola\u2019s galleries and the evening music programme on the Lighthouse beach,<\/li>\n<li>a programme of select festival films in Ljubljana, Cerknica, Idrija, Se\u017eana and Tolmin,<\/li>\n<li>the first film Zero Waste Event in Slovenia!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since last year, Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema committed to implementing measures for preventing and reducing the amount of produced waste and thus became the first film event in Slovenia to have received the title of a <strong>Zero Waste Event<\/strong> conferred by the <strong>Ecologists Without Borders<\/strong> association. Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema remains dedicated to film creativity and the development of film culture, but, after eighteen years, we are clearly aware of the responsibility that the festival has as a mass cultural event. That is why we want to actively contribute to the search for answers to the environmental crisis, both by raising awareness and through our own operation. \u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Committing to being a Zero Waste Event is part of the overall endeavour of the festival team to reduce the harmful impact of our operation on the environment, including the promotion of public transport use and travelling by train instead of plane, smaller print runs of festival printed matter, the reuse of objects and equipment and cooperation with partners that provide an ecological and local offer.<\/p>\n<p>Because we are aware of the urgency of environmental care, we would like to become a model for both the visitors and other organisers of cultural events. We will take care of biodegradable packaging, encourage the audience to use digital tickets and programmes and because cigarette butts are the most troublesome waste (a single one can pollute as much as a thousand litres of water), we will provide recycled ashtrays etc. We will also connect with the Centre of Useful Objects in Izola with the goal of an innovative re-use of textile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4104\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ZWS_Prireditve-z-manj-odpadki_logo-300x278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ZWS_Prireditve-z-manj-odpadki_logo-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ZWS_Prireditve-z-manj-odpadki_logo-1024x949.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ZWS_Prireditve-z-manj-odpadki_logo-768x712.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ZWS_Prireditve-z-manj-odpadki_logo.jpg 1221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Social media<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-si.facebook.com\/kino.otok\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/accounts\/login\/?next=\/kinootok_isolacinema\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC50jm1ppQZTiOTu8Ez-Ow9Q\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Programme and schedules<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/en\/program\/\">link<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Tickets<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/en\/tickets\/\">link<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The festival online archive:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/2022.kinootok.org\/en\/\">18th Kino Otok &#8211; Isola Cinema<\/a>, 2022<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/2021.kinootok.org\/en\/\">17th Kino Otok &#8211; Isola Cinema<\/a>, 2021<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/2020.kinootok.org\/en\/\">16th Kino Otok &#8211; Isola Cinema<\/a>, 2020<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isolacinema.org\/en\/archive\/\">1st till 15th Kino Otok &#8211; Isola Cinema<\/a>, 2004-2019<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/2023.kinootok.org\/en\/about\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5028,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/about.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
