It happened again! On Friday—completely unintentionally and by accident—Neon Zombie let slip the titles of four more feature films from this year’s festival program. Oh, what a mishap! But never mind. Now we can officially reveal the four films. Here we go!
As another highlight of our Director’s Spotlight: ERREMENTARI, the debut film by Paul Urkijo Alijo, who will be our guest. HIMMELSKÖRPER will have its world premiere here as part of the “Highlight Deutsches Kino” section. THE FLESH ITSELF brings us sinister genre fun from Brazil. And our 2026 opening film has also been confirmed—it is THE VIRGIN OF THE QUARRY LAKE.
Is that it? Nope, not yet. There’s more to come. We’d like to thank our hard-working media partners Viva La Movielución, scary-movies.de, and Neon Zombie for their dedicated promotion. You’ll find out the rest of our festival program in the coming weeks. So: Stay tuned!
