By FNE Staff

    Film Europe (www.filmeurope.eu), SPI International's (www.spi-film.eu) production and sales partner organization, is in Venice with the world premiere of Foxes from Slovak director Mira Fornay on September 9 and 10.

    {mosimage}Foxes is filmed in a "raw docu-style," the director said in a statement. The film looks at two sisters working as au-pairs in Dublin and a troubling secret that binds them to their past and their home.

    The film is screening in the International Film Critics Week with Fornay and lead actress Reka Derszi in attendance.

    Foxes is Fornay's feature debut. Her short films have been screened at numerous film festivals, with awards including Best Short Film at the 2003 Cottbus film festival.

    The 83-minute film was shot on location in Ireland and the Czech Republic.
