No big deal, my graduation project has opened a new door for me. A long time ago, in my twenties it was my goal to start a college course in film directing. Since I was about six, I had dreamed of making films. In the last part of the entrance exam, however, I backed out and left. It’s hard to explain why I considered myself unsuitable at the time… but to this day, I am certain it was back then the best decision I could make. I had two books published, launched two albums, played music, sang and wrote… And now the films have made an unexpected return into my life. I found myself in a university classroom, attended a BA course and completed a filmmaker degree. … Hence the reason I have added a a Films page to my website, featuring No big deal as my first professional film. I am deeply thankful to the cast and crew, the actors and the school. May many other projects follow this one with friends and fellow creators. For more information, go tothis link.
I’m looking forward to my interactive performance at Zene Háza on 22May, 2025. I will be presenting the singing style of Bauls, performing some songs live… but, more authentic than that, you will be able to watch some of my videos from West Bengal with real Baul musicians.
What a festival for traditions, instruments, cultures and ages! I enjoyed every moment. Here is the closing event with storyteller István Zsirmik and myself, performing Baul.
I was very pleased to see the interested crowd watching my Baul show at the French Institute’s programme, Fête de la musique. We started at the mezzanine, then moved into the auditorium, I performed four Baul songs, three of which I learned on my latest study trip. It felt amazing to share them with the audience.
My Hungarian short story Mozi (Cinema) has been selected to be featured in Short stories of the year by Magyar Napló.
Will my short stories ever be translated into English? Good question 🙂 I hope so. In the meantime, if you are one of the rare English speaking people visiting my website, get in touch with me, I might give you a short version of the plot.
