On Tuesday, 26 August, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, 1975) will be shown on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. In their second feature film, the Monty Pythons gleefully mock the clichés of historical dramas, mythical heroism, educational films, and even subtitles.

Free screenings every year at Congress Square

With the support of the City of Ljubljana, Ljubljana Tourism and partners, Kinodvor offers residents and visitors free screenings of highlights of the seventh art at the Open-air Cinema on Congress Square. Selected films are dedicated to important anniversaries and events in the city and in cinema. Film nights on Congress Square are a unique community experience, where more than two thousand people share magical film moments, while Kinodvor reaches new audiences and provides broad access to film content. By scheduling the Open-air Cinema on Congress Square in the last week of August, we reach visitors returning from their holidays – eager for cultural content. In this way, we round off a season of summer pampering and return to the cosy setting of the cinema at Kolodvorska 13, where the film programme resumes on 3 August after the summer maintenance break.
