Over the course of twelve days (one more than in previous years), highlights of contemporary international genre cinema, as well as classics and rediscovered gems, will be screened at the Filmcasino, Metro Kinokulturhaus, Gartenbaukino (opening) and Schikaneder Kino (retrospective special). A particular highlight this year is the SLASH Retrospective; it ventures into uncharted territory and traces the history of North American grindhouse cinema culture.
