The Dike of Transience
This experimental documentary is a three-year record of the barrage in the centre of Budapest on the peninsula Kopaszi that waits for demolition. Old film material cut right in the Admira camera breathes together with the environment and the locals. The sound is supplied by a recording of the train Dunakeszi, which is trying to play Egmont by Ludwig van Beethoven. FAMU, Department of Documentary Film (4th year)
Lost World

Negative History of Hungarian Cinema
Reconstructions of unrealized Hungarian films.

Recycling
Recycling tries to find a solution to the problems caused by the extreme amount of rubbish flooding our world. We follow the way of the consumer products from the origins through the using, until the destruction or storing of the non-recyclable ones. Recycling represents the industrial production as a huge organism in continuous circulation. We show how we can be in connection through the production and the consumption without noticing each other. The way of the consumer goods, produced in shocking quantity from day to day, come to light through expressive pictures and industrial poetry.
