Grossmann Info

Friday at Grossmann will be in the sign of Djordje Kadijević Master Class, taking place at 20:00h at the Main Square. It will be hosted by Dejan Ognjanović.

Master Class will be followed by a screening of Kadijević's cult 1973 film She-Butterfly, the first Yugoslavian horror. She-Butterfly was screened as a part of Tales of Mystery and Imagination series, and it stirred up controversy upon its first broadcasting due to literally scaring one viewer to death. At this year's Grossmann it will be shown on the big screen for the first time in Slovenia.

Culture House Cinema starts its program with 13:00h screening of Hungarian dark comedy Heavenly Shift from our Vicious Cat competition.

The famous archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones will enter the Enchanted Cinema with a crack of the whip, looking for a way out of the Temple of Doom in the second film of Steven Spielberg's popular franchise in which Indy finds himself in India.

No less than four episodes of French/Belgian TV series Metal Hurlant Chronicles will take you into a world of exciting adventures, fantastic landscapes, surprising twists and merciless action, featuring actors such as Michael Biehn (Terminator), John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Dominique Pinon (Delicatessen). Sreening will be attended by series's creator Guillaume Lubrano.

Three films from our Vicious Cat competition will be screened for the second time. Amazing German thriller The Samurai will be presented by writer/director Till Kleinert and followed by creepy Irish supernatural horror The Canal, while Serbian fantastic horror Nymph will be presented by director Milan Todorović, producer Marko Jocić and leading actor Dragan Mićanović.

Our Grossmann Grindhouse section will feature an attack of extreme nihilism in the form of Italian horror Beautiful People where home invasion and creature feature subgenres will meet in an unspeakably violent and gory way. Mandatory viewing for all splatter fans.

Alcatraz Cinema will be attacked by a swarm of fierce short films from our Slak's Vicious Cat and Melies d'Argent sections. They will be followed by three loud and proud music documentaries from our Noisy Cat competition program. Breadcrumb Trail is a documentary on US post-hardcore band Slint with a focus on their seminal final album, Spiderland. Marzidovshek Minimal Laboratorium portrays the (oc)cult Slovenian minimalist and sonic experimentator, innovator, performer and provocator, the immensely creative Mario Marzidovšek (1961-2011). Get Action!! presents the already disbanded Japanese garage rock'n'roll attraction Teengenerate, while British psychedelic caleidoscope Hypnoesis, presented by director Mickael Ankri, will take you on a fascinating journey through the streets of London.

Wind-Rattle Cinema will feature another adventure of ethnological cultural society Kunštni Prleki who will this time travel through vineyards, visit a fair and attend horse races.

The Subculture Fair will begin in the afternoon at the Main Square where there will also be a presentation of winemakers KZ Metlika, Zlati Grič, Hlebec and Kos at 20:30h.

In the end all roads will lead to Club Oxygen which will host a live appearance by Slovenian punk legends Niet, supported by Panicka from Slovenia.
