A film about the romani people of the village Szendrő in Borsod County.

The film follows Adam, a freelance artist. He is deeply connected to the '90s performance scene. Set in Budapest's alternative art world, the story explores Adam's struggles as his mother battles cancer. The mood of the film echoes the 1990s Hungarian film No Girl Ever Had This Effect on Me. It captures a similar raw, alternative atmosphere, blending Budapest's underground art scene with personal struggles, existential uncertainty, and a melancholic yet deeply human perspective.

A uniquely animated short film about a big mouse.

Does everyone spend their evenings thinking about the best moment of the day? Do we appreciate them or take them for granted? Do we even notice the little joys in life that make us smile at the most unexpected moments? Do these moments pass us by or do we live them? Do we recall them in our weaker moments or do they fade into oblivion? This documentary, brought to life in animation, seeks answers to these questions. People are interviewed about the best moments of their day, of different genders, nationalities, ages and social backgrounds. The film gives us the space to overcome stereotypes and distances and helps us to discover the unity inherent in our humanity.

Eight months pregnant, Lilla and her husband Peter's night is turned upside down when Peter's ex-wife, Hilda, calls: the heating has been turned off in their home and there is nowhere to go with their daughter to escape the winter cold. Although the situation is uncomfortable for everyone, they spend the night at Lilla's home.

The work consists of two parts: a photogram series of ten letters and a video. I wrote these letters to my grandmother, whom I have never met before because she lives in Afghanistan. We do not share a common language, we do not share a common culture. Yet, now I tell her everything about myself, completely honestly and without fear.

A man taked his mother to lake Balaton, where she always wanted to go, and remembers his childhood in post war Budapest.

Under a full sun that turns the wide pastures and woods around a house into an idyllic playground, a boy plays with his father to be a man. In the midst of the greenery, the aggressiveness is heartwarming: the father teaches him boxing and with it, the responsibility and restraint that come with mastering one's own body; the boy listens to rap and caresses chicks. Masculinity and childhood are documented in a contradictory, sweet and incautious nature. Seen in this light, the images of upbringing can convince us: love and virtue are built and transmitted in small lessons.

Rhapsody in Blue Jeans is a stop-motion animation composed to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, which in a series of smart sequences projects a grotesque image of the all-standardizing universe that is denim. In the film’s dynamic intro, all the accessories in a sewing kit are reshaped to become actors in archetypal Western chase, saloon and gunfight scenes.

Peter and Kati are doing homework but the lesson is not sufficient to capture the boy’s imagination. In his mind he finds himself in a labyrinth game and is unable to discover the way out of the maze. Kati and the dog Félix set off to rescue the lost boy.

Professor Leo’s wonder car can travel along roads, across water, through the air, and when necessary can even climb a tree or stand its ground as a cable-car. However, when Peter takes this marvel for a spin in secret, he loses all control over the vehicle.

A look into the perspectives of Hungary's post-1990 'new rich,' following the lives and motives of two busy entrepreneurs.

Collection of cartoon anecdotes summons the small-town world of the turn of the century, condensed into a single day, with ‘Czech’ good humour. The mosaic-like short evokes locations of the artist’s childhood, the Fin de Siècle milieu of Sopron through the glittering imagination of the graphic artist director, where the stationmaster salutes the rising sun, and the train driver associates himself with a mermaid in his bath, who he caught that day in the lake.

An elderly woman's everyday life on the countryside of Hungary.
