A mission to Mars, dancing food delivery men or an aspiring rocker with a demon on his shoulder. The diversity of this year’s genre block is characterized by a wide variety of themes and styles.

All films of Consistent Variety are running for “Best Genre Film”. After the screening, audiences will vote for their favorurite which will receive the award at Saturday’s Award Ceremony.
