We celebrate Daazo’s first birthday!

Thanks for you, since last March we’ve estabilished our position in the world of on-line cinema, and we are happy to say, that Daazo has became well-known among the young filmmakers of Europe. We’ve presented more than 60 quality short films, not saying that we showed several special programmes as well: there is the selection of Kosovo Documentaries; the archives of Budapest Squares Project and Euro-Balkan Video Letters.

We are proud to host the Oscar-winner director, Rofusz Ferenc’s short films, including the Academy Award winning animation, The Fly. These exeptional artworks have been watched by around 80 000 people, which is a great pleasure for us. Just like the achievements of many other nice films: Not So Small Talk, the comedy of Mike Wollaeger; The Kiss by Toma Waszarow - which was awarded by many festivals, or the provocative animation by Éva Magyarósi: Hanne - just to mention a few of our premieres.

And thank you for the great uploaded films - we’ve had more than 500! You are convincing us more and more that Daazo is worth to work with!

We hope you, dear Daazo-users share our thought, that we are the luckiest generation of film makers and film film lovers - we can find and watch easily the works of the upcoming talenst, besides presenting our films to the world. Maybe it’s not just a coincidence, to get three excellent shorts on the site having the word “lucky” in their titles. These films express Daazo’s willing to present many-sided, colourful works -

Let us remind you!

Lucky Bastard prooves that it’s possible to create a grotesque comedy about the end of the world; story of the last man on Earth, waiting without hope for the ending, but it’s still funny.

Lucky Man is much more serious; the stories of Puszta (the name of Hungarian steppe) has a great tradition in Hungary, in films and literature either, Lucky Man is the first classical, professional short film dealing with this topic.

Lucky Strike is a French action-comedy. Like Lucky Bastard it puts the value ‘being lucky’ into an ironical frame.

Be lucky, be on Daazo!

As the Hungarian based Daazo is getting to be as a well known startup project in Budapest, we were invited to present Daazo to the audience of IT professionals. The idea of the this conference was to create a platform where all the fresh and ambitious projects of Hungary can get to know each others. Basic panels covered topics like “how to get financial support” ” how to advertise” etc.

Even tough it was a so called “underground” meeting - most of the people having new ideas without major financial supporter - participating this conference was really a challenge for us, because neither Daniel nor Me are coming from the IT sector. Both of us are rather filmmakers, than computer experts, so to introduce our site in a way that is interesting in front these professionals was not an easy task.

After all it went very well, we got many feedback immediately and it seems that Daazo managed to hit the challenge again and surprise everybody how great the site is.
