The festival was launched in 2005 on the 100th anniversary of Slovenian cinematography in Ljutomer, where first Slovenian motion pictures were made by Dr. Karol Grossmann. It featured unconventional movies and brought to Ljutomer most of their authors. The programme and activities were constantly upgraded and the festival became one of the most interesting film events in this part of Europe. With indispensable addition of wine, the pride and joy of Prlekija, in the festival equation, completely new horizons of gastronomic pleasures were open to all our guests and visitors. The focus is still on fantastic, horrendous, fierce and cult movies that reach beyond ordinary genre conventions.
