Author Dejan Ognjanović has collected twenty key interviews conducted with guests of the Grossmann Festival, including iconic names such as ROGER CORMAN, CHRISTOPHER LEE, ROBERT ENGLUND, JOHN MCTIERNAN, UDO KIER, RUGGERO DEODATO, RICHARD STANLEY, JORG BUTTGEREIT, LLOYD KAUFMAN, BRIAN YUZNA and others.
The interviews reveal not only creative approaches and artistic visions but also personal stories, views, and anecdotes that shed light on the complexity of genre film as an artistic and social form. A special charm of the book is in the fact that all conversations took place live—often in the relaxed festival atmosphere of Ljutomer—which gives the dialogues authenticity, immediacy and ease. T
The book Grossmann Tales is more than just a collection of interviews—it is a document of its time, a chronicle of persistence and enthusiasm and a valuable contribution to understanding the importance of film festivals as spaces of independent creativity and boundless love for cinema.
