    When a series of mysterious murders are committed When a series of mysterious murders are committed in Poland's Klodzko Valley, with bodies surrounded by animal tracks or covered in beetles, a local eccentric is convinced that she knows who – or what – the murderer is, but nobody believes her outlandish theories. Agnieszka Holland's unflinching eco-mystery chips away at the traditions and social structure of a rural community, revealing the rotten heartwood at its core. Area Premiere! Agnieska Holland's SPOOR is now showing in our Virtual Screening Room.
