Punk provocateur Jörg Buttgereit’s shocking films offer some of the most extreme experiences in all of cinema. Best known for the notorious NEKROMANTIK, about a femme fatale’s craving for cold flesh, Buttgereit has earned a reputation for taboo-smashing terror – yet his work is still poorly understood. The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies is proud to present this candid conversation with the man behind some of the genre’s most stomach-churning, yet surprisingly complex films.

Raised in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, Jörg Buttgereit became a filmmaker famous for savagely antisocial splatterfests. Even hardened horror fans have shrunk from DER TODESKING, a nightmarish meditation on suicide, and SCHRAMM, a TAXI DRIVER-esque satire of the serial killer obsession. His stories about desensitized degenerates belie a cleverness, and even a political conscience, that may surprise those familiar only with Buttgereit’s ferocious reputation.

Join Miskatonic’s Online Branch Director Claire Donner for this provocative conversation with the infamous Jörg Buttgereit, followed by the chance to ask all your burning questions about his uniquely challenging films. At a time when horror discourse is fraught with ethical quandaries, and fascism is on the rise, the time is right for a fresh look at Buttgereit’s unflinching filmography.
