Making films at Kino Budapest

From 19 – 28 April, 2018 I participated at Kino Budapest. There I directed the production of the film ‘Cat Hunting’.  The story deals about an Animal lobbyist/ activist who turns into an animal criminal, when a cat slips unexpectedly into his house,  just before he goes to the airport.

I also was Director of Photography and Camera man for the film ‘Lobster’ (a crime story about the last living lobster in Budapest)  and ‘Joint Smoking’,  a story about a civil servant who struggles his way through on how to smoke a joint in the first time of his life. Kino Budapest is part of Kino Kabaret, a movement which promotes the production of short films with low budgets.

The videomaking provided us an opportunity to present ourselves!

I have met Simon almost 7 years ago while I was in high school. The great opportunity at that time was learning from the international trainers and their experience on how to build and maintain together the community. Step by step we got closer to the subject of filmmaking, In this way  it gave us the opportunity to represent ourselves and show our contribution to the society we belong to. Simon has been leading the group of young people by giving his great ideas and support in order to produce and harvest the best pieces of our daily activity through the camera lens
