A presentation of the Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival at the Festival Market at the 9th Jewish Film Festival – Festival of Tolerance
Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival is organized by the Otok Cultural Institute and co-produced with the Izola Centre for Culture, Sport and Events, Slovenian Cinematheque, and Kinoatelje. Kinodvor Cinema and the Italian Self-managing National Community in Izola are main partners. It also collaborates with many other international festivals from its geographical or conceptual vicinity.
Festival sections
The festival’s programme structure is based on the distinct concept of non-competitiveness, where the focus of the audiences is exclusively on the diversity and richness of cinematic expression. The festival's film programme in Izola consists of roughly 11 sections: the main section, Arrigoni, showcases selected titles of European and world cinema with the potential to win the hearts and minds of the general audience. Films and directors presented in the Signals section distinguish themselves with highly authentic cinematic language. The Friends section consists of carte blanches given to distinguished European film critics, programmers, and filmmakers, who invite and present a film and its author(s). The Good Neighbours section is dedicated to the intriguing collective cinema evolution in our physical or symbolic vicinity. The Silvan’s Bay section is an open space for a wider experience of film through other forms of art. 35mm Cult-ure presents important films from film history in their original formats, as well as new films dedicated to the culture of analogue filmmaking and cinema-going. Home Sweet Home focuses on promoting Slovenian talent to the international festival community. Chiaro-Oscuro discloses themes that lurk in the shadows of everyday discourse. Europe 2.0 consists of a double bill including a restored film classic and a more contemporary film that resonate thematically. The short films section, Video on the Beach, is designed as a lively open platform for young filmmakers and provides a valuable overview of the latest developments in the independent scene. Submarine – Otok For Kids is dedicated to children, youth, families, as well as culture and film educators in Slovenia.
Screening of the Video on the Beach section, Kino Otok - Isola Cinema Festival 2014.
Workshops, lectures and other events
The development of an international professional audience has been one of the main strategic goals of the festival in the last decade. PRO Otok, a programme for film professionals and others interested in the film's journey from idea to screen and beyond, has fostered numerous collaborations with national and international partners, such as regional film centers, Creative Europe Desk Slovenia, Slovenian associations of film professionals, and film festivals beyond Slovenia. A residential workshop in a three-year cycle, FOCUS, was dedicated to less visible professions from the region, pairing up cinematographers and production designers, editors and sound designers, and make-up artists and costume designers. The latest major strands, such as Skill Transfer and the residential training programme Short Scene, have focused on young professional talents.

International cooperation and guests
The festival places a great importance on its guests: should they be artists, professional partners, or journalists, the festival considers them simply as "friends". So one of the sections is dedicated to them – the Friends section. Friends of the Kino Otok Festival are given the chance to bring their friends and films – with no limitations.
Some notable guests of the festival from the past years are Alina Marazzi, Bill Morrison, Lisandro Alonso, Pablo Trapero, Abolfazl Jalili, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tsai Ming-liang, Nishtha Jain, William E.
