FINALE begins

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Warsaw Film Festival short film competition hosts the European premiere of Balázs Simonyi’s latest moving picture.

„It’s late evening in a Budapest neighbourhood and two suspicious-looking men are waiting around for their greatest hit. Impressively shot in one continuous take.” – Finale, the latest film by Balázs Simonyi (One Vote, Tangering, Tour) will have its European premiere in the short film competition of the 27th Warsaw Film Festival (October 7-16).

The 8 minute Hungarian moving picture was produced by Snittegylet Filmműhely and Celluloid Műhely.
Besides the European premiere, Finale debuts in North America as well. Vancouver IFF screened Simonyi’s short in the ‘Cinema of Our Time’ selection recently.

In 2009 the Warsaw Film Festival became one of 14 events recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) as international film festivals – besides Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Locarno, San Sebastian, Karlovy Vary etc.

Daazo produced its first short film and now you can watch it!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

The premiere of this week is quite special for us. Tour is the first short film produced by Daazo. Besides it is also co-written and edited by Daazo-founder Zoltán Aprily. The film was realized with the contribution of Celluloid Workshop, which used to every year in Hungary, setting the technical and equipmental framework for the production. The shooting took place in Miskolc and Emőd in Hungary. Directed by Balázs Simonyi, who has uploaded many popular shorts to Daazo, photographed by Zoltán Lovasi, DOP of one of the most successful Hungarian feature director, Benedek Fliegauf. One of the most important parts of the project was to find the best actors for Tour: two top Hungarian actors Iván Fenyő and György Gazsó joined the production – and they did a brilliant job.

The 12 mins long comedy film “Tour” is a tale about a man who dared to dream, a tale about a surveyor and hobby-cyclist, who believes that one day he will be able to ride 183 kilometer, just as pro’s do at Tour de France.

The film successfully participated at several prestigious film festivals:
