Kino Udarnik

Kino Udarnik Maribor is housed in a 1930s building which was originally designed as the elite Maribor city cinema hall. It represents the last old city cinema hall in which it is possible to project 35mm films with a screen ratio of 11m x 5m. The cinema was a member of the Artkino mreža, a network which distributed selected high-quality films around Slovenia, however it was closed for some years when it was one of the venues of the DokMa International Film Festival. In May 2010 Kino Udarnik was reopened as a regular cinema hall with a versatile programme and run by an enthusiastic team of the newly established NGO, Udarnik Maribor, a city art centre.

Apart from regular film screenings Udarnik features public discussions, lectures (recently in collaboration with Magdalena International Festival of Creative Communication), and screenings of experimental film, audiovisual and new media artworks, usually followed by a discussion or artists talk (such as, pioneer of computer art Eduard Zajc in conversation with theoretician Melita Zajc). These events are coorganised in collaboration with specialised festivals such as International Festival of Computer Arts (IFCA) or institutions such as SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts).
