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 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.

The stated motto of the festival is "cults, classics and genre-benders". The section of contemporary films rather firmly adheres to the genre-bending approach. Consequently, the chosen films are very diverse and can even include historic Tollywood blockbusters. Some of the selected films include ''Child of God'' (James Franco, 2013), ''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 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.

Also, in collaboration with [[Kraken Film Society]], the 2016 edition chose as its focus the cyber-gothic surrealist H. R. Giger, who was presented through a documentary (Belinda Sallin, 2014) and by a selection of Giger's short films curated by Laura Walde and John Canciani of Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur.

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. Oblikovalec in ilustrator Peter Kalinski (Cosmic/Glitch) nam bo pokazal, kako se loteva grozljivih podob, in nam pri ustvarjanju tudi pomagal.

The accompanying programme usually deals with segments of the cultural universe that are connected in some way to horror film, for example, a workshop on creating comic books and film posters (naturally with a somewhat darker accent) and a lecture on the history of Italian horror comics called "Fumetti dell’orrore" held by [[Pia Nikolič]] of the Stripolis Institute. Other features in the accompanying programme include poster exhibitions, film criticism and other workshops, and more.

The Kurja polt Genre Film Festival is a niche, artistically quite ambitious, festival that unearths and puts forward particularly worthy pieces of genre cinema, with a focus on horror film. Treating this genre in a very unconfined way, the festival reflects and presents it through retrospectives, featured as the core programme, and through a smaller selection of contemporary films. Its name meaning "goosebumps", the festival was established in 2014 and takes place at Slovenian Cinematheque and Kinodvor Cinema.


Film programme

The stated motto of the festival is "cults, classics and genre-benders". The section of contemporary films rather firmly adheres to the genre-bending approach. Consequently, the chosen films are very diverse and can even include historic Tollywood blockbusters. Some of the selected films include Child of God (James Franco, 2013), 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).

Retrospectives are either thematically or author focused, for example: the "urban versus rural" selection (from Boorman's Deliverance to cannibal exploitation film); a presentation of the oeuvre of the cult italo-horror director Mario Bava (his son, also a movie author, was that year's guest speaker); or the trope of the final girl (a concept taken from the work of the theorist Carol J. Clover), paying tribute to prominent female figures and roles. Examples of such films 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 was presented through a documentary (Belinda Sallin, 2014) and by a selection 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 are connected in some way to horror film, for example, a workshop on creating comic books and film posters (naturally with a somewhat darker accent) and a lecture on the history of Italian horror comics called "Fumetti dell’orrore" held by Pia Nikolič of the Stripolis Institute. Other features in the accompanying programme include poster exhibitions, film criticism and other workshops, and more.
