This black humour short takes aim at the stations of torment along the path of the average urban man trying desperately to give up smoking. Our hero, a fallible everyman, is the prototype for the whimsical title role player of the later “Gusztáv/Gustavus” series, who is the Eastern European equivalent of France’s M. Hulot and Mr. Bean from the UK.

Ottó Foky's stop-motion films use everyday objects to tell stories and put quotation marks around familiar film genres. In this action-movie parody, the burglars are represented by gloves, the night watchman by a torch, and the detectives by a pocket radio, a screwdriver and a hammer.

Kovásznai places this Jules and Jim love triangle story into his own personal sphere, amongst young intellectuals hanging around the streets of Budapest and meeting up in cafés. The film imitates the personal tone of the diaries with the use of painted black and white photo retouching.

Moon Film (Holdasfilm) is based on the grotesque poem cycle Holdas könyv (Moon Book) by Sándor Weöres and Béla Pásztor, who died when just 36, published in 1940. The peasant world of imagination constructed from playful rhymes and free associations is evoked in intense colours and dreamlike sequences.

We endure the final minutes of a person condemned to death by firing squad. This work is reckoned to be the partner film of "The Fly", in it, the title-role insect appears as an ironic self-quotation, this time as a laughing ‘free’ third party.

Featuring background images without moving characters, this film documents the final minutes of an insect caught in various traps. It is an allegorical depiction of illusory freedom and the extreme vulnerability set against this freedom.

Inspired by the director's personal experiences, the film blends a realism of sometimes documentary precision with a comic and lyrical tone - in contrast to the heroic, "socialist realist" portrait of the worker expected in the official public of the time. Technically applying painting animation, traditional cartoon and photo collages, the animated film's formal curiosity is the use of live speech recorded on the site.

A sweeping, dynamic journey compiled from a rapid-montage of faces, images, icons, glances and reflections through the time tunnel of cultural history.

A steamroller, Kandinsky-style exercise on the theme of the Bear Dance from Béla Bartók’s Hungarian Pictures. Performed in animation.

The film built around ancient magic spells, the morphosis of figures structured on continuous pulsating rotations and the strong use of colour can be seen as the equivalent of the compressive power of poetry. The film can be seen as a miniature version of "Son of the White Mare". The visuals that draw on fairy tale-mythical folklore are designed by book illustrator Dóra Keresztes.

Old and even older family snaps, drawings proliferating in wild colours and speedy racing through a plethora of imagined and genuine memories. The short by graphic artist Jacqueline Molnár is a dizzying free association game on a few found photos during which people and beings, all strangers to each other, meet beneath the animation effects camera.

The protagonist of this psycho-thriller taking place in picturesque surroundings is a crazed station-master living in a dull village in the middle of nowhere.
