The Beloved El ser querido, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Španija, 2026, 135' cast: Javier Bardem, Victoria Luengo
The acclaimed director Esteban Martínez is a legend both for his films and for his past marked by violence and excess. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness they haven’t shared for years, but it will also reopen old wounds that never healed. “An even richer affair than Sentimental Value. A fabulous film about filmmaking, and an astute and hard-hitting one about family dynamics.” – Time Out. “Bardem gives his scariest performance since No Country for Old Men.” – The Guardian. Straight from Cannes!
Films are screened in their original language with English subtitles. English-language films are screened with Slovenian subtitles only.

ACCESS TO THE CASTLE
With the slogan LET'S GO UNDER THE STARS, we invite guests to use one of the sustainable ways of getting to the castle, namely: - a ride on the funicular railway - travelling on the shuttle (circular ride)
Sports enthusiasts can also test their mettle by cycling to the castle, while those who like evening walks can take a stroll on one of the footpaths leading to the castle.
We recommend that when purchasing a ticket for a film of your choice, you also choose to buy a funicular or shuttle ticket at a reduced price of €4.50. You get to decide on the spot which transport to choose depending on the level of occupancy of the funicular and the shuttle. You may also buy a one-way ticket at a reduced price of €2.30.
This special ticket price is only available online when purchasing a Film Under the Stars ticket at the same time. It can be purchased at the ticket offices of the lower funicular station and the Entry Pavilion in front of the castle entrance at any time between 09:00 and 21:30.
For cars, Ljubljana Castle has a public paid car park with only 40 parking spaces, one of which is reserved for persons with reduced mobility.
Parking on the road leading to the castle (Cesta slovenskih kmečkih uporov) is not permitted. The pavement is only for visitors arriving on foot, not for car parking. This is to ensure the safe arrival and departure of all visitors to Film Under the Stars.
Shuttle stop
The shuttle stop for getting to Ljubljana Castle is at the Krekov trg, near funicular railway. When leaving the castle, buses depart from the Ljubljana Castle car park.
Timetable: - the funicular operates continuously for 30 minutes after the end of the film, - bus:
o journeys to the castle: from 20:00 to 21:15 every 10 minutes o journeys from the castle: 30 minutes after the end of the event
Please leave home on time so you're not late to the screenings.
Thank you to all of you who work with us to keep Castle Hill green and clean.
