Slovak Debut Film 'Last Season' to Premiere at Košice Festival Before Nationwide Release

A new Slovak feature film, 'Posledná sezóna' (Last Season), is set to make its debut at the Art Film Fest festival in Košice before heading to cinemas across Slovakia in September. The film, directed by Pavol Hirjak and produced by Vladimír Sabadoš, tells the story of two young outsiders and was shot on location at Zemplínska Šírava, a popular reservoir and recreational area in eastern Slovakia. The project also serves as the filmmakers' graduation work from FAMU, the prestigious Prague-based Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts, one of Central Europe's most respected film academies. Art Film Fest, held annually in Košice — Slovakia's second-largest city — is one of the country's leading film festivals, providing a prominent platform for emerging Slovak and international cinema.
