PesarHorrorFest, the International Festival of Horror Cinema and Literature that takes place in Pesaro (Italy) on August 21-26, 2007, is glad to announce that Jörg Buttgereit will be the special guest of the 4th edition. On the occasion of the 20th anniversay of his cult-movie Nekromantik (1987), a special section of the Festival, called Omaggio di sangue, will be dedicated to him and offer the opportunity to go deep into the poetics of the eccentric director, through the presentation of his whole cinematographic work, from the first shorts to all his feature length movies, music videoc, tv products, unpublished works, etc.
Buttgereit is a cult director since the late eighties and considered in several countries, from the U.S. to Japan, the leader of Germany’s underground scene. Opposed in his own country, at the same time he is celebrated by the rest of the world for his overstepping of all moralistic bounds.

Meanwhile the first short movies are already arriving at the organizing secretariat for the competition Il ritorno dei corti viventi; it is possible to download the competition announcement at the PesarHorrorFest Website.
The expiry date to send the shorts is July 7, 2007; the best works will be shown during the event and compete for the prizes awarded by the audience and a qualified jury.
