Gábor Reisz’s Explanation for Everything won the Best Film award in the Horizons section of the 80th Venice International Film Festival. This category is for films that represent the latest trends in aesthetics and expression. Furthermore, at the Moondance International Film Festival, Péter Karácsony’s short film, Sunday Kidnap, was selected as the best narrative short film.
Explanation for Everything explores social inequalities and tensions through the story of an 18-year-old boy’s graduation from high school and his intense emotions. This is not the director’s first success, as his film Bad Poems won an award in Monte Carlo four years ago.
Hungarians will be able to see the movie for the first time at a premiere screening with an audience meeting at the Cirko-Gejzír cinema in Budapest, on September 22. On the following day, September 23, there will also be a screening and audience meeting at Cinema City Mammut, also in Budapest.
Explanation for Everything will be released in Hungarian cinemas on October 5.
The Paris event, Moondance International Film Festival, is mainly open to independent filmmakers, and features the winners in its publications and on its channels, as well as organizing screenings of the winning films.
