Opening film

This year, Kino Pavasaris celebrates its 30th anniversary! To mark this special occasion, we’ve invited film programmers who have contributed to the festival’s rich history to each select their favorite film presented at Kino Pavasaris in previous years. 30 Springs is a journey through three decades of discovery, revealing the programmers’ passion for cinema and their insightful perspectives. Let’s remember the festival’s most memorable moments and celebrate the films that have shaped Kino Pavasaris over the years.

The programme includes the latest works by numerous renowned, critically acclaimed directors. Each film will dazzle with its original style and professional craftsmanship. This year, viewers will see films by legendary British directors Andrea Arnold and Mike Leigh, enfant terrible of French cinema Leos Carax, Italian maestro Luca Guadagnino, as well as politically charged films by Walter Salles, Mohammad Rasoulof, and many more masterful creators.

LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT OF HERE! But where are you stuck? In yourself and your defeat? Swallowed in your alcohol addiction? In your broken unhealable heart, in your social fears, war and family, in endless icy mountains or in the trunks of trees? This programme is a collection of traps. Shall we face them before we try to escape?
