The European script development programme is dedicated to films and series aimed at young audiences. Amid the pandemic and a looming lockdown 2.0, it’s good to focus on the future – meaning, in this case, both young audiences and project development. Kids Kino.Lab, a European script development programme, is currently searching for 12 teams, consisting of a scriptwriter and a producer, to apply with a project for a full-length film or series of any genre. The deadline for applications is 23 October, and the programme kicks off in early 2021 in Poland. Then, it will be followed up by three sessions at partner events: the Jef Festival in Antwerp, the Zlín Film Festival and, finally, in Warsaw during Kids Kino Industry.

Attack Of The Lederhosen Zombies. Do I have your attention? Of course I do! Lederhosen zombies! Yes, from the Alps of Tyrol, Austria comes a horror comedy that dashes Out Cold snowboarding humor into a Romero zombie stew. Humor meets ski-village infestation, and gore meets a white, snowy backdrop in need of some red coloring. Does sophomore filmmaker Dominik Hartl create a legendary zombie epic in the process?

Cast: Laurie Calvert, Gabriela Marcinková and Oscar Dyekjær Giese. Few horror films emerge from the cold climes of Austria. There has been Dead in 3 Days (2006), but there has never been a zombie film, until now! In Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies, Domink Hartl has looked to films from the past, including Dead Alive (1992) and Shaun of the Dead (2004), to create a comedic outing. Attack of the Lederhosen, which could have been easily named Snowboarders vs. Zombies, pits several sports enthusiasts against a growing zombie horde. The blood and comedy skits fly about. Some of the material sticks, while a bit more misses its mark. The film, at seventy-two minutes, was originally set to be a student film, but it has been extended here. The film comes across as slightly long,...
