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 Ljubljana Urban Municipality 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.
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. A rich and varied festival offer forms the second 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 venjues. 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. 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.
Kinobalon, the youth programme, is scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays (sometimes Sunday shows are accompanied by creative workshops), with occasional screenings during the week. Kinodvor 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. 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.
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.
