18:00 MILEVA EINSTEIN
Serbia, 2025, 83’
Director: Andrijana Stojković
Cast: Staša Nikolić, Teodor Vinčić, Aleksandar Đurica, Radmila Tomović, Ema Muratović…

During her theoretical physics studies in Zurich, Mileva Marić met the genius Albert Einstein. Their meeting gave birth to love, two sons and several revolutionary scientific works, but Mileva’s name does not stand next to Albert’s in the history of science and on the list of Nobel Prize winners. What little remained after her death was preserved almost by accident. Today, 150 years after her birth, this film tries to snatch from oblivion all the beauty of her extraordinary personality.

20:00 Bitter Christmas / Amarga Navidad
Spain, 2026, 111’
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Cast: Belén Riquelme, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Bárbara Lennie,  Rossy de Palma, Milena Smit…

Bitter Christmas tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia. Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl’s alter ego, who resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can’t help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, raising the debate about the limits of autofiction.
