Grossmann festival is a festival of fantastic film and wine. Dr. Karol Grossmann made the first videos in Slovenia back in 1905. He was also a friend of the famous Austrian director Fritz Lang, and showed him the camera. For many years, I tried to visit this festival with Gregor and Tedej. This year, we finally made it to the 21st edition. We reserved an apartment where Grossmann lived and Fritz Lang visited him, 246€ for 2 nights, 3 people, a good choice. We decided to go by train. I left work at 1PM and met with the guys at the train station. The train ride (41€ for 3) was an experience. The train was slow because of the heat, so we changed trains in Zidani Most and in Rače and arrived in Ljutomer after 4 hours.
It was raining, so we stopped for a beer on our way to the apartment. Soon we left to catch an animated Latvian movie, Dog of God, ticket 5€. I probably liked the movie the most out of our group. Later, we met the director. I asked him a few questions. In town, we went for dinner at Hotel Grand Central, good Neapolitan pizza. On the square, we watched another movie, Chainsaws were singing, a B-production slasher. Back to the apartment terrace and finished with wine in the Ljutomerčan hotel.
The next morning slowly got out. Most things are happening in the main square. We ate some burgers, bought some souvenirs, and had a drink. Went back to rest. On the second run, we got a mask and walked in the Zombie walk. Hot some food from a really rude food truck cook. Organizers gave Vicious Cat rewards for the best movie MR. K, best wine ŠIPON PREMIUM 2021 (Kos), etc. We finished the night in the apartment
Early in the morning, I took a short walk around town. Later, we moved to the Ljutomerčan hotel for food and drinks before walking to the train station. Again, we had to change trains once. In the afternoon, we finally got home. Nice weekend with friends and a lot of movie content.
