Premiere: Absence by Ákos Mester

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

This week we present a film of the great BuSho archive again – Absence by Ákos Mester. It was in competition in 2006 – got a Special Mention by the jury. It’s not a coincidence! The super 8 format gives the perfect atmosphere of the cute story, which has a perfect rhythm indeed. A three minutes long short by heart!

It is not the first by Ákos Mester on Daazo. A few months ago we premiered Aqua Run, which is the direct opposite of Absence – a  dark thriller. So Ákos has already proven his talent in several genres. Carry on filming, Mr. Mester!

Ákos Mester’s Filmography:
