Now, when you’re being boiled soft by the sweltering heat and slowly but surely slipping into delirium, we’ll drip hypnotizing images and sweet words into your brain. And when you wake up from your stupor, there’s only one thing on your mind: from September 19 – 29, it’s SLASH! Eleven days of genre extravaganza, where cinematic daring is rewarded and we unearth the darkest treasures of international cinema together with you. 🔥🔥🔥
We start the brainwashing with the brand new festival trailer, once again brilliantly realized by the Fleischwolf Kollektiv. You can find the full credits on Youtube.
This is followed by the masterful festival theme 2024, concocted by Elias Fleischer. He was inspired by Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński, as well as by the composition of tarot cards and H.P. Lovecraft. In the SLASH universe of 2024, a world unfolds that wavers between cosmic horror and folklore: “You have seen a god and he sees you…”. 👁️👁️👁️
