Wow. Slovenia was amazing. Everyone there was incredibly nice and accommodating and the country is beautiful. I want to thank all of the organizers of the 2009 Grossmann Film Festival for everything.
Okay. Here's a bit of a re-cap of the last few days ...
... Usually when I go to Europe (not often, but it does happen), I like to go to the grocery stores to look at all of the unfamiliar packaging and products. Here's a cereal that uses a clam as a mascot. Don't know about you, but clams don't make me think of milky and chocolate-y goodness:
The whole town of Ljutomer is in a festive mood during the week of the Grossmann. Lots of people who maybe have no interest at all in horror movies gather in the main square. Here's one of them:
Finn Atkins from EDEN LAKE at the museum in the theater:
The festival hosted Slovenia's first ever Zombie Walk and hundreds of zombies showed up to take over the city center. There was a zombie rockabilly band in the back of a wagon who played as they were pulled through the streets. After that, a Slovenian zombie horror-core rapper played. It was a zombie parade that ended at the location of the Grossmann's closing ceremony. Here are some shots from the zombie walk:
The closing ceremony took place in the town cinema. Ruggero Deodato and Jorg Buttgereit got special lifetime achievement awards. DEADGIRL lost the main competition to EDEN LAKE, so no statue for us.
All in all an amazing time. Gotta make another movie so that I can go back next year!
Speaking of which, time for me to stop blogging and start looking for another job. I've got a ton of shots from Slovenia, so I'll probably just throw up a random bunch of them later in the week ...
