Selected Filmography

THE BAR MITZVAH BOYS (2018)

A coming-of-age story for two “boys” who are 70 years apart. They are both preparing for the greatest day of their lives: their Bar Mitzvah. For 13-year-old Shalom this is a natural event but for the 83-year-old Gyuri, it’s a dream 70 years in the making. Through their preparation for a spiritual celebration, the boy becomes the teacher and tries to restore the old man’s faith and trust. The innocent 13-year-old boy, Salom, is filled with dreams and hopes and reminds Gyuri of his own lost childhood.

COUTURE BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN (2018)

In the 60’s, 70’s, during the so-called communist time there was a Grand Dame of the fashion industry in Budapest. Clara Rotschild was running a Paris style haute couture salon in the city. It is still an unsolved puzzle, what was her secret and the price of the same being able to maintain this exclusive position. She was neither an educated designer nor a cutter or a tailor, but in spite of it she was considered to be a genius of her field.
