Kaff 2019 - Hungarian animation shorts

Director: various

Bela

The film depicting Bela Lugosi's life pays homage to the Hungarian actor. The merge of the man and the "great" role is still shrouded by mystery. With some ironical scenes, the film applies the visuals and music of the age, from silent films to sound films.

Director: Roland Tóth

ReMake

The story is based on a whole human life spent in a closed space, condensed into a few minutes. We see the protagonist's life from the beginning till the end, from birth to old age and death, and perhaps even further. Though the film only has a single protagonist, we can also see other characters who are copies of the protagonist – transposed in time.

Director: Béla Klingl

Mr. Mare

Looking at an X-ray image, a young handsome man is horrified to learn that the weird, tumor-like lump on his chest is the top of a tiny plump man's head. Nested in his body, he is waiting to be born.

Director: Luca Tóth

Iriam and Jonibe

A magical fable about Iriam, the fish queen, and Jonibe, the bird king. A story about anticipation, encounter, falling in love, becoming one, anger, breaking up, and then rebirth.

Director: Kinga Rofusz

Symbiosis

A betrayed wife starts to investigate her husband’s mistresses. Her jealousy is gradually replaced by curiosity.

Director: Nadja Andrasev

Jacques' Rampage Or When Do We Lose Our Self-confidence?

A free composition movie, which attempts to define the real essence of everyday life through the sensation caused by connecting stand-alone scenes. The core of this piece is in the relationship of the scenes; the way the nonsensical actions of the characters get interconnected under the umbrella of a higher intelligence.

Director: Máté Horesnyi

Off Season

In a small fishing village during off season, every day is the same. The inhabitants live side by side, as elements of the landscape. However, a small incident is enough to break the routine, and their closed worlds open up to each other. Special days reveal themselves only when they come to an end.

Director: Orsolya Láng
