Lajos Koltai Announced as Guest of Honour for the 2024 Festival
We are thrilled to announce that the esteemed Hungarian cinematographer and director, Lajos Koltai, will be our guest of honour at this year's festival. A recipient of the prestigious Kossuth and Béla Balázs awards, Koltai's illustrious career includes an Academy Award nomination for his cinematography in "Malena" (2000) and his work on the Oscar-winning film "Mephisto" (1981).
At the festival, Koltai will showcase his talents as the cinematographer for "Mrs. Dery Where Are You? " and as the director of "Semmelweis." His presence is made even more special by his long-standing friendship and professional relationship with Mari Törőcsik, the festival's namesake.
Join us in celebrating the incredible contributions of Lajos Koltai to the world of cinema. This is an event not to be missed!
