Today, the 16th International Festival Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema should start in Izola: the traditional five-day film greeting to summer which attracts thousands of visitors from near and far every year. Although the epidemic changed our original plan, Kino Otok is still coming just before the summer joys of this year will be over. The festival will take place in Izola from 26 to 30 August 2020, before and after that also in Ljubljana and several places in southwestern Slovenia. The Festival will take place in a situation-adapted format and taking into account all applicable preventive measures and instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Kino Otok for new times<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement of the epidemic in mid-March caught the creative team of the 16th Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema festival at a time when most agreements had been reached with domestic and international partners. When the collaboration has been confirmed by all project collaborators. When the call for the Video on the Beach section and for volunteers from all winds were in full swing. And last but not least, when the film, professional and social program was largely composed and the core team, after almost a year of preparations for the new edition, was already looking forward to meeting guests and visitors.<\/p>\n

The cancellation was out of the question so we decided to postpone the festival. In the last two months\u00a0we rethought the program and the way of realizing<\/strong>\u00a0this year\u2019s Kino Otok. In this way, despite the new (and changing) circumstances, we will be able to provide the most authentic festival experience live and also online. The film, professional and accompanying program of the festival will be carefully outlined by the end of June and presented to the public as soon as possible. It is already known that the call for the\u00a0shorts section Video on the Beach<\/strong>\u00a0was successful this year as well, with a record 179 applications from more than 30 different countries.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

No man is an island, we are all an archipelago<\/strong><\/p>\n

The slogan\u00a0No man is an island<\/strong>\u00a0has been following the Kino Otok festival since the first editions of the festival, when it was created in Izola, a former island, with the idea of \u200b\u200bconnecting countless individuals into a community around film and other arts. Recent collective experience has reminded us anew how unbearable the absence of touch is and how urgent is the need for human contact, for a living encounter. Therefore, this year\u2019s Kino Otok will strive even more than before to unite and cooperate at various levels.<\/p>\n

Among other things, we will connect\u00a0into a program archipelago<\/strong>\u00a0with other film, music, theater or art festivals. In Slovenian Istria, we will continue our cooperation with the\u00a0Summer Festival of Primorska<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0JEFF Festival<\/strong>, at the same time we are starting a multi-year cooperation with the\u00a0Motovun Film Festival<\/strong>, which is being created on the Croatian side of Istria. We will expand and deepen our cooperation with the cross-border film festival\u00a0Hommage To A Vision<\/strong>, which is prepared every autumn by the Kinoatelje in Gori\u0161ka region. We will connect with the international short film festival\u00a0FeKK<\/strong>, which will take place in Ljubljana just before Kino Otok in Izola. Last but not least, we are continuing the oldest international festival connection with the\u00a0Innsbruck International Film Festival<\/strong>\u00a0from Austria.<\/p>\n

The producer<\/strong>\u00a0of the festival is Otok, an Institute for the development of film culture.\u00a0The co-producers\u00a0<\/strong>of the festival are the Center for Culture, Sports and Events in Izola, the Italian self-governing national community Izola, the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinoatelje. The City Cinema Kinodvor is\u00a0the<\/strong>\u00a0partner<\/strong>\u00a0of the festival.<\/p>\n

The 16th edition of the Kino Otok \u2013 Isola Cinema international film festival is supported by the following public\u00a0co-financiers<\/strong>: the Slovenian Film Center, the European Commission\u2019s Creative Europe \u2013 MEDIA sub-program, the Municipality of Izola, the Ministry of Public Administration and the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n
