The Serial Killer festival works on the principle of “tasting” the best contemporary series. This means that you can watch the first two episodes of each series.
Most screenings are followed by a discussion with the creators.
All series are presented in the original language with Czech and English subtitles.
Each year, our program brings a selection of the best series from Central and Eastern Europe and a few selections from the rest of the continent. Viewers can expect Scandinavian complex dramas about current social issues, genre entertainment and comedies from unexpected environments about unexpected topics. We select only the most interesting series from all over Europe and now and then from elsewhere.
Primetime Killer: The best of the series of Central and Eastern Europe. Prestigious series, the best of which are selected by an international jury.
International Panorama: The annual selection of the best from all over Europe. In the International Panorama, you will find a variety of themes and genres, united by a single criterion - high quality.
Love, Sex and Friendship: Feel good comedies are one of the most in-demand series consistently, but recently the demand for them has been growing even more. There is enough depressing stuff around, we need to relax with something lighter but important at the same time. That is why we at Killer have opted for relationship series that may be new in theme, even revelatory in some ways, racy in others, but most importantly should delight you with how well they portray interpersonal relationships. And not just the romantic ones.
Special Screening: The Special Screening is always an event at the Killer. And it is always a little different. This time, we have reserved this section for the British serial gem The Gold, which we are going to play for you in its entirety.
British Nostalgia: A programme section consisting of five gems of British comedy created over the course of a decade. Although today's comedies are markedly different at first glance, our entire nostalgic selection easily stands up to scrutiny - and more.
Quick Killer: The best short form series from Central and Eastern Europe. A hotbed of young talents and unexpected gems. Quick Killer will showcase several short series competing for the Best Short Form Series of CEE.
Best of Web Series: This year showcase will be a commented overview of the web series landscape today. Joel Bassaget, partner researcher at University of Wollongong and Head of the Web Series World Cup will highlight the trends, evolutions and perspectives of the web series phenomenon and its situation in 2024.
Voyo Presents: Number 1 of the local SVoD market, the winner of last year’s Serial Killer competition, presents an exclusive taste of the sequel to the successful series, which you will see on Voyo before the end of the year.
