A Summer of Books and Films.
In July, we opened a brand-new GO! 2025 Info Point, located in the emerging EPICenter — the meeting point between Nova Gorica and Gorizia. You can visit us every day from 10.00 to 18.00, including weekends. In the same space, on 28 August, we’ll also be celebrating the grand opening of the official café of the European Capital of Culture: the EPIC Café. You’re warmly invited to drop by!
August offers a vibrant selection of film screenings, spread across the twin towns and beyond. The travelling Kino Soča / Cinema Isonzo will bring the big screen to Villa De Nordis in Gorizia, as well as to Lokve, Bovec, Kanal, Topolò, and Grgar. The Silvan Furlan Open-Air Cinema continues in Nova Gorica. To close the month, Jože Babič’s film Three Quarters of the Sun will be screened on 31 August in Europe Square.
Alongside the film events, three music and theatre performances of the project Art Against the Rifle will take place in symbolic First World War locations: on 9 August in the Church of St Valentine on Sabotin, on 22 August in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Javorca, and on 31 August in the Krompirjeva jama cave on the Slovenian Karst. On 29 August, literature lovers from across the region will gather in Nova Gorica for the return of the beloved book fair Mesto knjige.
