Dragi prijatelji, u subotu se opet družimo🍺🍺 😃 Obavezno dođite u P4 jer premijerno prikazujemo naše novo zlodjelo CONSUMATOR: THE LAST CARROT. Film je snimljen u produkciji Rebl Film u kombiniranoj režiji Hižak-Sokol-Jarmić prema futurističkom scenariju koji su zajedno ispekli Pintareci, Kličeki, Prsteci, Mačeci Hižaci, Kubičeci i svi ostali koji su tokom proljeća pohađali SCHKAF i/ili su se s nama zabavljali smišljajući zgode i nezgode korporativnog otpadnika Johna Basica. Dio filma ste fragmentarno vidjeli na dodjeli Zlatnih motorki pa je sad prilika da ga pogledate u integralnom obliku s prologom i epilogom :) Nakon Consumatora slijedi Kristal krvi naše bratske družbe FilmKreativ koji smo doduše pogledali, ali svakak bi trebalo ponoviti gradivo, tim više što su nam Benjamin i Fićo pripremili i 18-minutni after-film "Kristal Krvi- Behind the Scenes". Vrhunac večeri je naravno Venganza koja je imala postprodukcijske porođajne muke pa smo na TFF gledali nedovršenu verziju. Ovog p**a Pero, Bernie & Mislav imaju spremnu, renderiranu verziju Venganze s efektima, titlovima i zvukovima! Film je nastao u koprodukciji Rebl-a i Garaže i uključuje cijelu armiju varaždinskih naturščika 😄 Za one koji izdrže sve tri projekcije, imamo posebnu nagradu: Karaoke! 🎤 😄 Vidimo se (i slušamo) u subotu!

TRASH MOVIE NIGHT Subota 18h u P4. Nemojte propustiti!

Best Horror and Best Film Audience Choice: THE INSPECTOR (EL REVISOR) by Jandro

JURY'S STATEMENT:

This was the most dificult category to choose the winner from. In the end, the decisive factor was that this film achieved a lot in terms of cinematography, mise-en-scène and dramaturgy - it took a big task on itself and it completed it extremely well. Therefore we are happy to give this award to Jandro for the film El Revisor (The Inspector).

Best long-feature: CHAINSAWS WERE SINGING by Sander Maran

JURY’S STATEMENT
This film was so great that the director of the festival decided to create a category for a long-feature film just so this film could be shown on the festival. This plus the fact this film took 13 years to make, shows a dedication to the filmmaking craft that deserves this award. The film brings music, gore and humor together in a very original and unique way and therefore we believe this groundbreaking film will become a classic in its genre. For this reason the Golden chainsaw goes to Sander Maran for the film
Chainsaws Were Singing.

Best action: DAGIAN by Peter Docze

JURY’S STATEMENT ON DAGIAN

This film creates high tension and feeling of empathy towards the main character, by using a beautiful cinematography and well executed stunts. Combining action and horror through original storytelling, this film achieves depth and emotional impact within a remarkably short runtime, despite having only a few scenes. For these reasons, the Golden Chainsaw for Best Action goes to Peter Docze for the film Dagian.
