Dossier K. is a hard hitting crime thriller, reuniting the buddy cops from the internationally acclaimed The Alzheimer Case (aka The Memory of a Killer). This time they are a bit older, a bit more cautious, and struggling with the ‘new approach’ to crime control. Dossier K. plunges us into a violent clash between two worlds: the Albanian mountain clans trying to hold on to their ancient codes and a modern metropolis desperately protecting its brittle privileges from invasion. Caught in the eye of that storm are a young Albanian on a mission-of-honour to avenge his father and a lovesick cop dead set on stopping the blood feud. By the time both find out they’ve been manipulated from the outset, they are on a fatal collision course. Dossier K. is a modern revenge story with the intensity of a classic tragedy that will leave cinema audiences on the edge of their seats.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Born in 1963, Jan Verheyen made his feature debut in 1991 with Boys, a Belgian take on the American teen-pics of the 80s. Besides being a local box office hit, the film sold to 15 territories. For his next film, The Little Death (1995), Verheyen crossed the Atlantic. Back in Belgium he directed Everything Must Go! (1996), which earned both public and critical acclaim in Belgium and at festivals abroad. This was followed by box office successes Team Spirit (2000), Alias (2002), Team Spirit 2 (2003), Gilles (2005), Missing (2007) and Cut Loose (2008). He is now preparing his 11th feature film Crazy About Ya. In addition to his career as a director, Verheyen has experience of almost every aspect of the film business: as a festival organiser-programmer (Knokke-Heist Film Festival); as a distributor (Independent Films and PolyGram Filmed Entertainment in London); and as a programme director (private broadcaster VTM). He also writes articles, publishes books, and can regularly be seen on TV, as a guest on talkshows, presenting Film Night specials and participating in celebrity gameshows.
