And the genre-themed pool at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival has expanded by one with the US premiere of writer/director Gerardo Herrero’s short film Picnic, which is described as “psychological” in nature.

Herrero’s Picnic is in Serbian with English subtitles and stars Sveta Zhukovska, Nacho Medina, Alejandro Rodríguez, Irene Paumard, and Marko Mihailovi. It involves a restful day turning tense for a family in Grebak, Bosnia.

Synopsis:
A father is resting with his son under a tree while the mother walks with her baby in her arms. They do not know it, but a few metres away a dangerous and deadly enemy is awaiting.
