FOREST KILLER STARTS IN SLOVAK CINEMAS

The Czech-Slovak-Polish-Romanian co-production film Forest Killer, directed by Radim Špaček, will be presented to Slovak audience in theatrical distribution after its successful world premiere at the festival in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The minimalist crime drama follows the last year of the life of one of the most famous Czech serial killer Viktor Kalivoda. In 2005, he murdered three random passers-by in the woods. The Forest Killer, as he is nicknamed, worked as a policeman, won the show Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The case received a lot of attention not only because he planned to shoot up the Prague metro, but also because he never fully revealed his motive. The film is based on true events.
