The festival passes will be available from Wednesday, 26.04, 13:00. After that, the festival center is open from 11:30 to midnight. The late screenings only take place at Cinema Excelsior. Food and drinks are also available there, of course!

The Odeon Garden offers a cozy atmosphere, cocktails, drinks and food. The Odeon team has created a vegan Dürüm exclusively for you. Pizzas, pinsas, momos and other snacks are of course also available. After all, horror and gourmet cuisine go hand in hand: Goremet cuisine, so to speak.

SISU AS SWISS PREMIERE

With SISU, we present you the (probably) last cinematic access to the festival. Another Swiss premiere — the film will officially be released in cinemas on May 11.What can you expect? These are the last, desperate days of World War II. In northern Finland, a lonely gold prospector is robbed by a Nazi squad. But that doesn't suit him at all. This is how the lone gold seeker becomes a merciless one-man killer squad.
