For the Cinephile non-competitive section we have chosen works of Hungarian directors.
Hungarian Neo-Avantgarde In Film
The second part of the Cinephile section is dedicated to the cinematographer and director János Tóth, a master of image design who is considered an iconic figure of Hungarian cinema.
He created a new genre in collaboration with Zoltán Huszárik – the film-poem (Capriccio, 1969). He reached the purest form of the film-poem with his own work Aréna (1970), which is constructed from dynamically changing image sequences. With a score by Péter Eötvös this was an example of the contemporary structural, material and linguistic film idiom for which the fascination at the Balázs Béla Studio was rapidly growing. In István Bácskai Lauró’s lyrical documentary Igézet (1963) film becomes the art of synaesthesia and organic poetry.
