Ester Ivakič

For decades, Kinoatelje has explored the cinematic heritage of the Gorizia area, tracing memories and stories that cross borders. From this legacy emerges a new chapter: an episodic film entrusted to a new generation of filmmakers. This collective film was shot in Gorizia in the summer of 2025 - among streets and rivers where stories intertwine, in a threshold city shaped by its own pulse. Under the artistic direction of filmmaker Alessandro Comodin, and inspired by Sandro Scandolara’s book Nostro cine quotidiano, five filmmakers - Laura Samani, Ester Ivakič, Otto Lazić-Reuschel, Jan Devetak and Francesco Sossai - have dismantled the border to create a polyphonic portrait of the city.

Somewhere far away from the village and people, four hundred wind gusts away, Marija and Drevo are dealing with the acceptance of the upcoming loss of their friend.

Ten-year-old Ida believes that the mysterious angelic singing resounding across the village graveyard is the only thing keeping her beloved Grandma alive. So she decides to join the school choir-even though she is absolutely tone deaf.

Two girls play detectives and discover a real serial killer.

Jelena and Jastog flee war and find refuge in the mountains, where they brace themselves for a fatal meeting with a scary phantom from Jelena’s childhood and play badminton. But you are never really alone in the mountains, and they quickly get company. Life is just sick.
