In the past several years, I’ve reviewed a bunch of TV series – mostly crime dramas – from many European countries. Here’s my first from Slovenia. “The Lake Trilogy” is a collection of three miniseries following veteran police detective Taras Birsa (Sebastian Cavazza) and his team through an array of homicides and major crimes in their city
The first is six 50-minute episodes; the others are only three. Each set features a new case (or set of cases) with mostly the same cast on the law-and-order side.
The package reminds me of our Harry Bosch series. Both are led by gray-haired, street-savvy cops, usually in a dour mood. Both have grown daughters and romantic complications in their lives. Both have contacts outside the department who help our heroes...

Romanian film Three Kilometers to the End of the World, from director Emanuel Pârvu, won the Heart of Sarajevo prize on Friday for Best Feature Film at the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival. The film focuses on the violent attack on a 17-year-old boy and and the aftermath in his home village in the Danube Delta wetlands region in Romania.
“I can honestly say that I really want people, when they are leaving the cinema, to think about themselves,” Pârvu said. “I think that was my goal when I was shooting it. I wanted to make a movie where, at the end, I wanted you not to be happy, not to be sad, but to think very, very much about yourself and your decisions regarding the ones you love.”
Yorgos Zois was named Best Director for Arcadia, a Greek/Bulgarian/U.S. production. Anab Ahmed Ibrahim was tapped for Best Actress for Village Next to Paradise,...

Romanian director Emanuel Pârvu’s “Three Kilometers to the End of the World,” a Palme d’Or contender at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, took home the top prize at the Sarajevo Film Festival Friday night.
The third feature from the actor-turned-director was awarded by the jury headed by U.S. writer-director Paul Schrader (“First Reformed”) that included Swedish actor and producer Noomi Rapace (“Lamb”), Finnish director-writer Juho Kuosmanen (“Compartment No. 6”), Sarajevo-born, Paris-based director, writer and editor Una Gunjak (“Excursion”) and Slovenian actor Sebastian Cavazza (“Men Don’t Cry”).
“Three Kilometers,” which follows a 17-year-old who’s the victim of a homophobic attack in a small town in Romania’s Danube Delta, examines the assault’s fallout on his rural community from multiple perspectives. Variety’s Guy Lodge described it as a “claustrophobic study of personal and institutional prejudice closing in on a community misfit,” praising the “cinematic heritage...

The Sarajevo Film Festival was born amid the Bosnian war, in 1994 during the four-year siege of the city. Sarajevo, the city, and the festival have done much to put that dark history behind them. But as the Sff celebrates its 30th edition, the festival continues to shine a spotlight on films that illuminate contemporary issues and politics, on films that celebrate the power of cinema even during the darkest times.
Of the nine movies screening as part of the Sff’s Competition Program, some deal with politics straight on — like Serbian director Vuk Ršumović’s Dwelling Among the Gods, which looks at issues of identity through the eyes of an Afghan refugee — or obliquely, as with Romanian filmmaker Andrei Cohn’s Holy Week, set in 1900 but around a clash of religions that still resonates today.
“As always, we are looking for original stories, new authors, and above all fresh and bold perspectives,...

Artsploitation Films has just launched the release of Killbillies. This is Slovenia's first horror feature. And, the film is heavily influenced by titles like The Hills Have Eyes (1977) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). A review for this title is available here, on 28Dla: A Killbillies Review on 28Dla. As well, the film stars: Nina Ivanisin, Lotos Sparovec, Sebastian Cavazza and Nika Rozman. To celebrate the Killbillies launch, three new stills are hosted here. The stills show some of the lighter and darker moments of the film. In an early scene, Zina (Ivanisin) sits with a few of her friends, in a cavern-like bar. There is little time for laughter, though. In a later scene, a photographer's assistant is tortured by two deformed hillbillies. This is a gruesome film. As well, Zina is shown again. This time, she is trying to escape the hillbillie's hovel. Beaten and bruised, there is little hope of a way out.

*full disclosure: minor spoilers are here. Director/writer: Tomaz Gorkic. Cast: Nina Ivanisin, Lotos Sparovec, Nika Rozman and Sebastian Cavazza. Killbillies is the first horror film from the country of Slovenia. Located in Eastern Europe, this locale offers a very rural backdrop, where cannibals can kill again and again. An Artsploitation Films' release, this title, which was scheduled to release in October, is already available on Youtube. And, gorehounds will want to take a look at this title as Killbillies offers many creative blood effects. But, horror vets' may have seen this film before. Director Tomaz Gorkic has been heavily influenced by Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; many scenes from this earlier title are replayed here. Still, Killbillies offers a lot of terror, in the gorgeous backdrop of Slovenia. The film begins with a photographer and his two models. They setup a shoot, in the Slovenian countryside.

Holy Strokes!: Turk’s Debut Loses Its Appetite
Born out of a collaboration with the Torino Film Lab comes Martin Turk’s feature directorial debut, Feed Me With Your Words, a three tiered narrative structure told from thee separate points of view from an overlapping timeline. Turk, who has worked as assistant director to Danis Tanovic and Maja Weiss, shows an intriguing knack for establishing a broody foreboding, but his overlapping ellipses lead to an underwhelming conclusion that feels disappointingly contrived.
On a seemingly normal day, Matej (Sebastian Cavazza) suddenly begins receiving phone calls from his estranged father, Janez (Boris Cavazza) whom he hasn’t spoken with in over a decade. Reluctantly, he finally answers his phone and finds that his younger brother Robert, who had been living with his parents in the Slovenian countryside, had recently traveled to Turin and has seemingly disappeared. Janez needs Matej’s help...
