In memory of Janos Toth. The ciematographer on title is no other than János Tóth, who is still the role model and reference point for all Hungarian cinematographers. He has proven his unique talent in all cinematographic genres. In his unmissable features, shorts and documentary films, he set an example to his peers with his tight compositions and his art of light. His experimental cinematographic films, shot with the optics he developed, were far ahead of their time. Our portrait film explores the oeuvre of this exceptional cinematographic artist.
Ever since I started making films it has bothered me in a certain sense that film images are far too concrete, because technically they try to imitate the sense of space characteristic of everyday life. So the story ignites the imagination only to be slowed down by the images and stops the viewer from taking a flight of fantasy. I have always been searching for an intrinsically different tool in filmmaking. One that could record space in its temporal progression. I would never have thought it existed!
