5th December :

6:00 pm : Nosedive ( Zuhanorepules )

Feature film, directed by Erik Novák (2007), colour, duration : 105 minutes

This story is a fairytale set in one of the far from romantic corners of Budapest at the turn of the millennium. It is an urban legend about a young outlaw, a beautiful woman, lots of money, and the worst adventure in life.

Drugs, mafia, friends, love, betrayal, revenge and death. The protagonist is released from prison after doing time for drug dealing. At the prison gate he swears to himself to get on the right track. However, his friends lead him astray

again, and he is given even bigger jobs to handle than his earlier transactions. The young go-getter attracts the attention of the Russian mob as well, and he is given an offer he cannot refuse: taking care of a huge transaction for them. The orphan has only his uncle to count on, and even he is unable to stop him from getting back on the wrong track. The big transaction gets thornier when the mob boss’ carefully guarded sister appears on the scene. Can love overcome the mob’s laws? Can love drive one out of sin? The film, which was based on the screenwriter’s personal experiences, portrays its subject very realistically.

8:00 pm : Prank ( Trefa )

Feature film, directed by Péter Gárdos (2009), colour, duration: 93 minutes

It is 1912. In a small town’s parish school run by priests the school year starts off in an ordinary way. This autumn, however, the pupils are overcome by a strangely overwhelming rowdiness, leading them to come up with increasingly more outrageous pranks.

6th December : 

6:00 pm : Mario, The Magician ( Mario, A Varazslo )

Feature film, directed by Támas Almási (2007), colour, duration: 92 minutes

At the beginning of the 1990s, not long after the change in regime, a miracle occurs in a tiny sleepy Hungarian village with the arrival of Mario, the elegant shoe manufacturer. He promises jobs and well being to the local women, setting the village in motion. Vera cannot resist the charisma of the Italian either. She becomes more and more enchanted by the man’s special charm. And she feels the Italian is not indifferent to her either. She dreams obsessively about a better life in Mario’s side.

8:00 pm :  Who The Hell's Bonnie and Clyde? ( A Miskolcl Bonies Klajd )

Feature film, directed by  Krisztina Deák (2005), colour, duration: 94 minutes

Lili and Pali are "chance" bank robbers, and perhaps "chance lovers" but they don't have the opportunity to pursue their relationship. With stolen money in their backpacks they are constantly on the run and everything seems to go wrong. As they seek refuge in a run-down industrial town they learn they have become famous in the national media and have been nicknamed Bonnie & Clyde. Bonnie & Clyde is a contemporary look at youth in Eastern Europe trying to find truth in a world founded on corruption and deception.
