+ | [[Grossmann Film and Wine Festival]] is a specialised competitive festival which focuses on a contemporary genre film production, mostly on horror and fantastic genre. It was launched in [[established::2005]] on 100th anniversary of Slovene cinema and is dedicated to Dr. Karol Grossmann, the pioneer of Slovene cinema as he made the first film shots in 1905. The Grossmann festival is indubitably the most unconventional Slovene film festival as it includes not just the screening of the film programme but also the promotion of local wines, "the pride and joy of Prlekija region", and other gastronomical pleasures. It is taking place on different locations in the city of Ljutomer, while it's film programme is later hosted also in Zagreb, Belgrade, Lyon and Cannes. | ||

A presentation of Slovene cinematography and the Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival at the South-East European Pavillion
at the Cannes International Film Festival
The festival is managed by Festival Ljutomer Cultural Tourist Association (KTD Festival Ljutomer) and Filmska praksa PLAN 9, and is funded by Ljutomer Municipality, Prlekija Development Agency and Filmska praksa PLAN 9, while seed funding comes from the EU's TEMPUS PHARE CBC programme. Screenings are usually free of charge.
Concept
The Grossmann festival programme presents the work of young and amateur directors alongside that of more established names, and hosts feature film as well as short film premieres from many countries. It covers all film genres, primarily digital films, under the motto: "dedicated to independent, cult and ferocious cinema where film begins". Its main focus, however, are fantastic, horrendous, fierce and cult movies, that reach beyond ordinary genre conventions. The organisers state that "genre film is by its exploitative nature just ideal for Slovenian movie scene, that is doomed to low-budget production due to geographical limitations." The best films in various categories receive the Vicious Cat Awards. Authors of the awarded films are usually present in Ljutomer.
Programme
Each edition includes a retrospective of the films of a legendary filmmaker (in 2007 American independent director Lloyd Kaufman from New York's Troma Entertainment, the oldest independent film studio, and the legendary Serbian film director Slobodan Šijan; in 2009 Ruggero Deodato, the author of the cult masterpiece Cannibal Holocaust, and the Berlin director Jörg Buttgereit). The programme is divided into the competition cathegories (e.g. the Vicious Cat Awards for recent science-fiction films, Slak's Vicious Cats for short films or Noisy Cats for music documentaries), and curated areas (such as Mondo Macabro, Torture Garden or Digital Mayhem, which showed a special selection of Serbian sci-fi short movies in 2007).
Workshops
The main attraction of the 2007 festival was Make Your Own Damn Movie!, an intensive eight-hour masterclass on the shooting and promotion of low-budget films led by Lloyd Kaufman. Some other lectures were organised, along with book presentations (Paper Vicious Cats), exhibitions and hip hop concerts. The team of Filmska praksa PLAN 9 also created some low-budget ‘grindhouse’ movies together with Kaufman.
