Film programme
The stated motto of the festival is 'cults, classics and genre-benders' and especially the section of contemporary films follows the genre-bending approach rather firmly. Consequently, the chosen films are of a very diverse nature, and can go as far as to include Tollywood historic blockbusters. Some of the films chosen to be screened are Child of God (James Franco, 2013), Aleluja Alléluia (Fabrice du Welz, 2013), What We Do in the Shadows (Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, 2014), Bahubali: The Beginning (S. S. Rajamouli, 2015), Demon (Marcin Wrona, 2015,) and Bone Tomahawk (S. Craig Zahler, 2015)
The retrospectives are either thematically or author focused. There was the 'urban versus rural' selection (from Boorman's Deliverance to cannibal exploitation film), a presentation of the oeuvre of the cult Italian italo-horror director Mario Bava (his son, also a movie author, was that year's guest speaker), and – in 2016 – the trope of the final girl (a concept taken from the work of the theorist Carol J. Clover), which pays tribute to prominent female figures and roles. Examples of this theme are I Spit on Your Grave (Meir Zarchi, 1978) and Suspiria (Dario Argento, 1977).
Also, in collaboration with Kraken Film Society, the 2016 edition chose as its focus the cyber-gothic surrealist H. R. Giger, who is presented through a documentary (Belinda Sallin, 2014) and through a election of Giger's short films, curated by Laura Walde and John Canciani of Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur.
Accompanying programme
The accompanying programme usually deals with segments of the cultural universe that is, one way or another, connected to horror film. There was workshop on creating comic books and film posters, naturally with a somewhat darker accent. In collaboration with the Stripolis Institute, Pia Nikolič held a lecture on very special type of comics, called Fumetti dell’orrore. Other features in the accompanying programme can also include poster exhibitions, film criticism and other workshops, and so on.
