Special programs
The silver screen floats in a church, is secured to the ceiling of a room or is populated by zombies – in the course of VIS 2007 you may look forward to some special programmes. In the Reformed Church horror films will haunt you, the Schikaneder invites in the summer at its “lying cinema”, the small auditorium at the Top Kino, offering an exquisite programme, will be a haven for all trash fans. And last but not least: the Spanish delights offered at “Film & Food” will leave nothing to be desired!
Paella y película: Film&Food Spain
Wednesday, 16 May 2007, 8 pm
Top Kino
In the last years Spain has proved to be one of those countries to have given special attention to the genre of short films. At the same time the quality of Spanish short films is always very good – so a special programme in honour of the “cortometrajes” was just a matter of time. This programme, combined with Spanish food, should be a culinary-cinematic delight.

Fürchtet euch nicht! (Fear not!)
Friday, 18 May 2007, 9 pm
Reformed Church
People in dead and populated spaces, quiet and loud threats, fear of the harrowing and of one’s own self. Six short films in a dark church, candle-light from grave candles, a white screen dangles from the ceiling. The perfect night for quiet jimjams, suspense and goose pimples...

Très chic
Friday, 18 May 2007, 12 pm
Top Kino
When one breaks with conventions and the humour overtakes itself, then good taste is also a thing of the past. At midnight the cinematic works of art of subterranean wit rise from their graves in all their ambivalent glory.
