    BRATISLAVA: Two young Slovak filmmakers will present their films at the 42nd Rotterdam IFF, opening on 23 January 2013.

    Mira Fornay’s second feature film My Dog Killer (www.mirafox.sk) has been selected for the Tiger Awards competition. The film, which was in the 2010 Berlinale Co-production Market, looks at a transformative day in the life of a young Slovak man whose best friend is his dog.

    Mátyás Prikler’s debut film Fine, Thanks (www.mphilms.sk) will screen in the Bright Future section. The film, which originated as a short film that screened in Cannes in 2010, is a trio of stories with an epilogue taking place against the backdrop of the current financial crisis.
