Popcorn

Cinema Fest Day returns for a third consecutive year on October 31, offering a special admission price of just 2 euros at all cinemas nationwide for both matinee and evening screenings. 

The event, which serves to remind the public of the indoor cinema experience, is organized by film distributors and is supported by film and theater businesses. 

Six years ago a small Maribor-based family-run business Kokica brought the first gourmet popcorn to the Slovenian market. The popcorn in vibrant colours under the trademark Pokica now fills the shelves of Slovenian and Swiss stores, with plans to expand to Germany and one day to the US.

Residents of the Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir have pulled up in their cars at a makeshift drive-in cinema to watch the film "Müslüm," which depicts the life of the late famous Turkish singer Müslüm Gürses, as Turkey's cinemas have gone dark amid the coronavirus pandemic.
