Wirbel film premieres in Slovak cinemas

The Czech-Slovak mystery drama Wirbel, the feature film debut of director and composer Tomáš Hubáček, has premiered in Slovak cinemas following its world premiere at the Art Film Fest in Košice.

The story follows Martin, played by David Švehlík, who moves from the city to an inherited, decaying house in the Bohemian Central Uplands. His life changes upon meeting the mysterious Agnes, portrayed by Judit Pecháček. The film explores themes of landscape, memory, and the supernatural, blending reality with dream-like elements.

Director Tomáš Hubáček drew inspiration from geomancy, ley lines, and historical sacred sites to explore the connection between humanity and the environment. The production was filmed across various locations, including the Czech Central Highlands, Moravian Tuscany, and the White Carpathians in western Slovakia.
