The retrospectives are either thematically or author focused. There was the 'Urban versus rural' selection (from Boorman's Deliverance to Italian cannibal exploitation), a presentation of the ouvre of the cult Italian italo-horror direcotor Mario Bava (his son, also a director, 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).

In collaboration with Kraken Society for Short Film Promotion we will pay hommage to the world-famous Swiss artist and visionary surrealist H. R. Giger, author of the Academy Award-winning design for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic Alien and Jodorowsky’s Dune, the most influential sci-fi and greatest cult film never made. Belinda Sallin’s intimate and insightful documentary feature Dark Star – HR Giger’s World (Dark Star – HR Gigers Welt, 2014) will accompany Giger’s Universe (Das Universum Giger), a precious selection of short films curated by Laura Walde and John Canciani of Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, and featuring rarely screened shorts and music videos directed by Giger and the renowned Swiss filmmaker Fredi Murer.

Delavnica izdelave stripa in filmskega plakata se bo v skladu z duhom in vsebino festivala Kurja polt osredotočila na mračne tematike, ki nam ježijo kožo.

The Kurja polt Horror Film Festival is a very special, artistically ambitious film festival that reflects, unearths and puts forward particularly worthy pieces of – very liberally understood – horror genre cinema. It presents them either through retrospectives, which actually feature as the main part of the programme, or through a smaller selection of contemporary films.

The festival, its name meaning 'goosebumps', was established in 2014 and is taking place at Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor Cinema.


Film programme

The stated motto of the festival is 'cults, classics and genre-benders'. Especially the section of contemporary films very firmly follows genre-bending approach, and the chosen films are of a very diverse nature, and can also include Tollywood historic blockbusters. Some of them 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,), 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 Italian cannibal exploitation), a presentation of the ouvre of the cult Italian italo-horror direcotor Mario Bava (his son, also a director, 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).
