Festival of the hardened spectator 2025

The Shockproof Film Festival 2025 will take place from March 3 to March 9 at Kino Aero, offering a week full of bizarre cinematic experiences, unexpected surprises, and entertainment that is definitely not for everyone.

Fans of cult B-movies, forgotten horror gems, absurd action flicks, and extreme cinematic kitsch can look forward to nearly twenty screenings, accompanied by a unique side program. Alongside the popular live dubbing, the festival will feature a themed lecture, movie bingo, special cinema decorations, and even unique drinks inspired by the festival’s selection.

For two decades, the Shockproof Film Festival has stayed true to its distinctive identity—rejecting sterile mainstream productions in favor of films that walk the fine line of good taste, sometimes boldly crossing it and sometimes never even coming close. Camp, trash, kitsch, exotic oddities, low-budget horror, C-grade sci-fi, and Z-list weirdness—all of these are at the heart of the festival.

But the festival isn’t just about the films. Visitors become part of an interactive experience where screenings come to life inside the theater. Some films will be paired with a shot to fortify your nerves, while others will challenge you to eat “delicacies” in sync with the characters on screen. And when the monster wreaks havoc not just on the screen but right in the cinema, you’ll realize that the Shockproof Film Festival is an experience like no other.

If you have the guts, a sense of humor, and a stomach for films that will never air on primetime TV, then the Shockproof Film Festival is the place for you. Come to Kino Aero from March 3 to March 9 and get ready for pure cinematic madness!
