About speaker
Barnabás Tóth is a Hungarian director. His short feature Chuchotage was shortlisted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences but did not receive a nomination. Those Who Remained is the director’s second narrative feature after his coming-of-age tragicomedy Rózsaszín Sajt, which also had success at various film festivals.
About event
What can compel a director to shift from a comedy style to such a serious subject as post-war Hungary, where every other person suffers from PTSD? Does an author’s life change after their work is considered for an Oscar? Is it true that all Hungarians are either pessimists or realists? These and many other themes will be covered in a conversation between the director of Those Who Remained Barnabás Tóth and the Program Curator Egor Belikov.
