[[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.

The [[Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival]] is a specialised competitive festival focusing on contemporary genre film production, mostly on those of horror and fantasy films. It was launched in [[established::2005]] on the 100th anniversary of Slovene cinema and is dedicated to [[Karol Grossmann|Dr. Karol Grossmann]] (1864–1929), the pioneer of Slovene cinema who made the first film shots in 1905. The Festival takes place annually in July in different locations in the city of Ljutomer and was named one of the "30 Bloody Best Genre Fests in the World", according to ''MovieMaker Magazine''. The call for eligible films is usually open from January till May.

The 2020 edition is held in Ormož (10-12.7.), then in Ljutomer (14-18.7.).

==Festival policy and sections==

==Background==
 +
The Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival was initiated by [[Filmska praksa PLAN 9]] and the Development Agency of Prlekija, and put on the map with help of European Structural Fund. Today the festival is run by the recently established [[KTD Festival Ljutomer]] organisation in collaboration with the above mentioned partners.
 +
 
 +
Since then, it has become one of the regular meeting points for professionals and fans of genre film production, especially horror and fantasy films, in the Balkan region and beyond. The Festival's focus on genre film production doesn't include blockbusters and mainstream films but rather the new digital guerrilla, independent and low budget films, destined to become cult. The official festival policy is guided by the wish to present those films that are trying to escape the "mediocrity, political correctness and pathetic desire for mass appeal" of the contemporary genre films and to bring some fresh blood and danger into the festival scene.
  
Although the Grossmann festival is a relatively young and small festival event it quickly became one of the regular meeting points for professionals and fans of genre film production in the Balkan region and broader. It's concept is fresh, original and simply charming. Namely the Grossmann festival's focus on genre film production doesn't include blockbusters and mainstream films but rather the new digital guerilla, independent and low budget films, that are meant to become cult. The official festival policy is guided by the wish to present those films that are trying to escape the "mediocrity, political correctness and pathetic desire for mass appeal" of the contemporary genre films and to bring some fresh blood and danger into it. The Grossmann festival is also regularly organising special events like the Zombie Walk, a procession of the undead (make-up is made by professionals attending the festival) through the streets of Ljutomer, concerts and the traditional festival of wine. Since the excellent wine of this region is the only official drink of the festival it is advised to bring some fresh water with.
+
The festival includes not just film screenings but also the promotion of local wines – "the pride and joy of the Prlekija region" – and other gastronomical pleasures.  
  
It's programme is divided into 9 sections and three of those are competitive: the Vicious Cats section includes feature length films, the Slak's Vicious Cats short film and the Noisy Cats music documentaries. Retrospectives are one of the strongest sections since in the past years they managed to invite many cult and legendary directors like Roger Corman, Jörg Buttgereitt and Roggero Deodato. Music documentaries are screened also out of competition in the Off Noisy Cats section. The Digital Mayhem section is dedicated to films on digital support, while the Mondo Macabro Special sections includes restored forgotten classics from the wild side of world cinema published on DVD by Mondo Macabro label. The Torture Garden is meant only for the most persistent since it offers 9 hours of furious blasts of weird, rare, strange and mad films, while the Vicious Festival Harvest sections brings selected films from partner festivals (Australian A Night of Horror, Festival of Serbian Fantasy Films, Croatian Trash Film Festival).

==Sections==
 +
The programme of the Grossmann Festival is divided into 9 sections and 3 of those are competitive: the ''Vicious Cats'' section of feature length films, the ''Slak's Vicious Cats'' section (named in honour of film director [[Franci Slak]] (1953–2007)) of short films and the ''Noisy Cats'' section of music documentaries. ''Retrospectives'' are one of the strongest sections since in past years they have managed to invite many cult and legendary directors, actors and producers like Christopher Lee, Roger Corman, Jörg Buttgereitt, George A. Romero, Ruggero Deodato, Jan Harlan and Sam Firstenberg.

==Awards==
+
The Grossmann Festival has 6 official festival awards as each of the 3 main festival sections has its own award – for details see, the [[Vicious Cat Awards]]. Since the Grossmann Festival is also a festival of wine, the Vicious Cat Wine Champion award is conferred. Sometimes the number of awards can change, as the Grossmann Festival is also unorthodox in that regard and so new awards are sometimes introduced.
 +
 
 +
==Workshops and special events==
 +
The Grossmann Festival has many parallel events to the main film programme, from book presentations and exhibitions to concerts. Although they are not traditional, a great deal of attention goes to the workshops, as they are usually led by visiting artists or professionals. For example, the ''Make Your Own Damn Movie!'' workshop in 2007, an intensive master class on the shooting and promotion of low-budget films, was led by Lloyd Kaufman. Every year, the Little Workshop of Horrors is also organised, during which participants have to finish their short horror film during the duration of the Festival.
 +
 
 +
The Grossmann Festival also regularly organises special events like the "Zombie Walk" – a procession of the undead (make-up is done by professionals attending the Festival) through the streets of Ljutomer, and a traditional festival of wine (with wine road tours, exhibitions, lectures, wine tastings and presentations).
 +
 
 +
==International activities==
 +
The Festival is a member of the Méliès International Festivals Federation (MIFF), a network of 25 festivals from 19 countries, promoting European fantastic film across the globe. Upon the invitation by the [[Slovenian Film Centre]], the Grossmann Festival frequently presents their activities at the Marché du Film in Cannes. Its programme has also been hosted post-festum in Zagreb, Belgrade and Lyon. The Festival programme regularly screens selected films from the MIFF network and partner festivals: the Australian A Night of Horror, the Festival of Serbian Fantasy Films, the Croatian Trash Film Festival.

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.
