Taking place online, the\u00a02021 First Cut Lab Slovakia<\/a> will consult two feature-length Slovak projects: The Nightsiren<\/em><\/a> by Tereza Nvotov\u00e1 (prod. BFILM<\/a>)\u00a0and Power<\/a> <\/em>by M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Prikler (prod. MPhilms<\/a>). The workshops will be followed by a webinar, details will be announced later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nightsiren<\/strong><\/em><\/a> will be the sophomore fiction feature by Tereza Nvotov\u00e1, who’s debut Filthy<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>(2017) premiered at the IFF Rotterdam. The Nightsiren<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0story of a\u00a0young woman who returns to her native village in the mountains, searching for answers about her troubled childhood. As she tries to uncover the long-buried truth, dark ancient legends seem to come to life, the local villagers begin to believe she is a witch.<\/p>\n

Drama with the elements of political thriller Power<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is, again, a second fiction feature by its director. Moreover, M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Prikler’s debut Fine, Thanks<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (2012) also premiered at the IFF Rotterdam. At an informal hunt, a boy is accidentally killed. One of the politicians\u00a0involved is the hot candidate for the important international post of Water Commissioner, who is expected to find a solution to the increasing water shortage across Europe and elsewhere in the world. As the investigation proceeds, the agent Steiner tasked mainly with burying the case, starts to learn the true nature of power and its fallout.<\/p>\n

The selected project will receive expert feedbacks from three international film industry advisors, as well as tailor-made advice from consultant editors. The discussions are moderated by editorial consultant Wim Vanacker.<\/p>\n
