Organisation
The Kinodvor was run by Slovenian Cinematheque until a crisis arose in the spring of 2008 and it was closed down. In May 2008 the Municipality of Ljubljana passed a resolution declaring the establishment of a new public institute, Kinodvor. The hall was reopened in October 2008 as a public, municipal cinema, screening quality contemporary cinema. Through its functioning Kinodvor is meant to become part of a network of similar institutions operating in Slovenia and internationally. Apart from showing films Kinodvor works in the direction of film studies and cultural education; it offers pedagogical and educational programmes related to the field of audiovisual culture; it encourages participation, democracy, plurality, international cooperation, and high quality of creation and representation. Kinodvor is a partner distributor of European films through the Europa Cinemas network.
With the support of Europa Cinemas the international conference Networks and art cinema digitisation was held at Kinodvor in November 2009. Two years later, with the installation of BARCO’s 2nd generation digital cinema projector DP2K, Kinodvor has become the first cinema within the Art Cinema Network of Slovenia equipped for digital projection in formats of the highest possible standard.
Programme
The core and bulk of the Kinodvor film programme consists of first-run theatrical releases of quality films, as offered by Slovene distributors. European film, independent production, and world cinema are especially highlighted.

Besides the premières of the films released (often in the company of members of the cast and crew), the cinema offers gala avant-premières of nationwide releases. For those with limited budgets, the weekly Dvorni dan on Mondays with its reduced ticket prices, is the day to look out for. Every month a member of the Kinodvor Club has the privilege to select a recently released contemporary film for screening.
Sunday Breakfasts at Kinodvor offers freshly-baked croissant and coffee along with the ticket to the screening and expert baby-sitters to take care of the children while parents enjoy a film. Once per month screenings for parents with babies are organised: a regular run film is screened at a lower volume, the hall is gently lit and nursing allowed.
In addition the cinema features limited runs, temporary imported titles, reruns from art house repertories, and other special screenings and events. Kinodvor wants to position itself also as an event theatre.
Festivals
A rich and varied festival offer forms another most important programme pillar. For festivals such as Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe), the international festival of animated films Animateka and the international festival of contemporary arts City of Women, Kinodvor has become one of their principle festival venues.
Kinodvor also serves as one of the dislocated units for the International Film Festival Rotterdam. During IFFR Live a few films premiere simultaneously in over 45 cinemas throughout 17 countries, also in five cinemas around Slovenia.
Film Under the Stars
Since 1999 Kinodvor Cinema organises the Film Under the Stars cyclus of screenings on Ljubljana Castle on mid-summer nights. A program selection is carefully put together in cooperation with the Ljubljanski grad Public Institute of the Municipality of Ljubljana. Eventually, a few films premieres take place in the Castle courtyard, boosting the popularity of the open-air cinema on the Ljubljana Castle hill even more.

Youth programme
Kinobalon, the youth screening programme, is scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays (sometimes Sunday shows are accompanied by creative workshops), with occasional screenings during the week. Kinodvor Cinema offers educational institutions a catalogue of selected films with recommended additional activities; the screenings can be arranged according to their wishes throughout the year. The youth programme is carefully selected and takes into account various possible age groups and different kinds of cinema. On the 15th Europa Cinemas Conference the Kinobalon programme was bestowed the Best Young Audience Activities Award for 2010.
Kinodvor Cinema offers also Elephant, the educational animated film programme for diverse age groups. It features during the Animateka International Animated Film Festival but also as an ongoing activity within the Kinodvor Cinema programme as well as nationwide, facilitated by the Art Cinema Network. The common goal of these activities is to raise the awareness, training and education of the young Slovene audiences on the characteristics and requirements of the quality animated films.
The third such programme is Kinotrip, which is not only meant for youth between for 14 and 19 years, but also run by them.
Film bookshop and café
With the opening of the city cinema, the first tiny film bookshop in Ljubljana opened its door to the public. Holding books ranging from specialised film pieces to the literary works that have inspired film production throughout the years as well as special programme-related offers, film DVDs and soundtracks, the bookshop is a must-see for all cinema enthusiasts. A specialised gallery presents fine art created side by side with, before or after films, and art which has supported, announced and challenged the films from which it has drawn inspiration.
Kinodvor Café represents a film-flavoured meeting point, a place where international film magazines broaden horizons and, most of all, a place with a selected offer of treats.
