Ljubljana – This year’s Festival of Genre Film, dedicated to film soleil, an offshoot of film noir, will get under way tonight with a screening of John Sturges’s Bad Day at Black Rock at Kinodvor cinema in Ljubljana. Another highlight will be a screening of The Amusement Park, a rediscovered film by the horror visionary George A. Romero.

"Park Your Cinema" is back for the summer season with free screenings of classic films on a giant screen in the park at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

Lauren Bacall, the sultry actress with the heavy-lidded eyes and husky voice who captured Humphrey Bogart's heart both on and off the movie screen, died on Aug. 11 at the age of 89.

"With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall," the estate of the Bogart family said on a verified Twitter account.
