New Generation of Hungarian Filmmakers - Old Friends of Daazo
Thursday, October 16th, 2008You can sense a fresh breeze in the world of Hungarian films! Recently there are two premieres: Para by Péter Fazakas and Fluke by Tamás Keményffy. And why do we mention this to you, dear European short film friends? Because both of these young directors are great friends of our site, not to mention that we premiered they short films as well.
Do you remember? Mice… This one is by Mr. Fazakas, who used to be the directors of cool ads. Just like Mr. Keményffy who’s film was shown almost a year ago on Daazo, the Lucky Man. They career is a good example, who to become a feature film director step by step. Many quality ads, well made, professional short, than a well prepared script (the screenplay of Para won the Hartley-Merrill contest). Para is a story of a retired cop, who was coming back from the gate of death. He worked as a security man till he broke an expensive sculpture - he needed to pay for it. His friends were obsessed in psychomancy - and tried to get help from ‘out there’… In the tradition of “My Sweet Little Village” and “Waking Ned Devine” Fluke is a satire about a small village full of colorful characters, whose lives radically change due to a miracle. Or a simple crime. So good luck guys in the world of long feature films! But don’t forget to make cool shorts again!
