22. Grossmann Festival

Mednarodni filmski festival posvečen žanrski kinematografiji in lokalnemu vinu. / Brez vstopnine. 22. Festival fantastičnega filma in vina se bo odvil med 8. in 12. julijem na Glavnem trgu, v Kulturnem domu, MKC Ljutomer in na drugih lokacijah zakletega mesta Ljutomer. Spletna stran: https://grossmann.si/ Filmski program je namenjen pravim filmskim ljubiteljem, entuziastom brez predsodkov ter tistim, ki so pripravljeni eksperimentirati z mejami dobrega okusa in morale. V našem fokusu so fantastični, grozljivi, divji in kultni filmi, ki predstavljajo presežke ustaljenih žanrskih obrazcev. Filmski program: https://grossmann.si/sl/program/filmski-program/ Spremljevalni program festivala nudi številne vinske degustacije, umetniške razstave, koncerte, delavnice, okrogle mize in tradicionalni zaključni množični dogodek (Zombi parada 2009, Pohod pošasti 2010, Ples vampirjev 2011, Parada propada 2012, Zombi parada 2013, Zombi četvorka 2014). Naš namen je, da bi vsaj delno povrnili nevarnost in drznost sodobni kinematografiji, ki s svojo mlačnostjo, politično korektnostjo in željo po vsesplošnem ugajanju vse bolj izgublja svoj nekdanji ugled, vpliv, kreativnost ter s tem tudi gledanost. To so drzni in nevarno kreativni filmi, nastali v krvavem potu navdihnjenih posameznikov, ki jih njihov čas ponavadi zavrača, saj poleg kršenja in preseganja estetskih tabujev prinašajo tudi vedno nelagodno, a nujno družbeno samorefleksijo. Grossmannov festival je posvečen tej tišji, a nevarnejši in neskončno zabavnejši plati kinematografije, ki se ne boji ekscesov, politične nekorektnosti in preseganja tabujev. A za njeno polno razumevanje si je treba vzeti čas, se prepustiti adrenalinskim šokom ter oborožiti s skrajnim smislom za humor. Ob kozarcu dobrega vina je to še toliko lažje! Od leta 2010 je Grossmannov festival fantastičnega filma in vina član Méliès International Festivals Federation (MIFF). _______EN An international film festival dedicated to genre cinema and regional wine. / No entry fee. The 22nd Grossmann Fantastic Film & Wine Festival will take place from July 8 to 12 at the Main Square, the Cultural Center, MKC Ljutomer, and other locations throughout the haunted town of Ljutomer. Website: https://grossmann.si/ The film program is intended for true film lovers, open-minded enthusiasts, and those willing to experiment with the boundaries of good taste and morality. Our focus is on fantastic, horror, wild, and cult films that transcend established genre conventions. Film program: https://grossmann.si/sl/program/filmski-program/ The festival’s accompanying program features numerous wine tastings, art exhibitions, concerts, workshops, roundtable discussions, and a traditional closing mass event (Zombie Parade 2009, Monster March 2010, Vampire Ball 2011, Parade of Decay 2012, Zombie Parade 2013, Zombie Quartet 2014). Our aim is to at least partially restore a sense of danger and audacity to contemporary cinema, which—with its lukewarmness, political correctness, and desire to please everyone—is increasingly losing its former reputation, influence, creativity, and, consequently, its audience. These are daring and dangerously creative films, born of the blood, sweat, and tears of inspired individuals who are usually rejected by their own era, for in addition to breaking and transcending aesthetic taboos, they also bring about an always uncomfortable yet necessary social self-reflection. The Grossmann Festival is dedicated to this quieter, yet more dangerous and infinitely more entertaining side of cinema, one that is unafraid of excess, political incorrectness, and the breaking of taboos. But to fully understand it, you have to take your time, let yourself be swept up in the adrenaline rush, and arm yourself with a keen sense of humor. It’s all that much easier with a glass of good wine! Since 2010, the Grossmann Festival of Fantastic Film and Wine has been a member of the Méliès International Festivals Federation (MIFF).
