The film festival mainly focuses on fantastic, horror, cult and unusual films, who go beyond the seemingly defined boundaries of their genre. He also sanctifies himself home movies, which are often overlooked and pushed into a corner due to the consequences of a low budget. This year's film trailer promises us the following films: The Lesson (United Kingdom), Scherzo Diabolico (Mexico), Beyond the Gates (USA), Sensoria (Sweden), Attack of the Lederhosenzombies (Austria) and A witch (USA).
The confirmed guest of the event is a Styrian winemaker Nick Gee, who officially comes from New Zealand and founded a wine company in Slovenia in 2010 Heaps Good Wine Company. For music will be provided by the legend of the Balkan hip hop scene, Edo Maajka.
