Without Air shortlisted for European Film Awards
Hungarian film Without Air, the first feature film of director Katalin Moldovai, has been shortlisted for the European Film Awards, the National Film Institute (NFI) said on Wednesday.
The film, supported by the Incubator Programme, shows the story of a literature teacher against whom parents file a police report for recommending her students to watch Total Eclipse, a film on French poets Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, the NFI said.
Written by Zita Paloczi and Katalin Moldovai, the film was produced by Attila Bela Kovacs and Andras Muhi. The main characters are played by Agnes Krasznahorkai, Tunde Skovran, Soma Sandor and Aron Dimeny, among others.
The film has won awards in Toronto, Arras and Warsaw, among other festivals.
The European Film Awards ceremony will be held on December 7 in Luzern, Switzerland.
