Milky Way-ambient movie is in program cineMAgyar 8.3 @7pm - Andorra
Benedek Fliegauf’s goal was to make a psychedelic film that, similarly to the ambient musical style, allows the viewer to receive the film on various levels of attention and does not force any concrete interpretation. Reception of a film in this manner leads to a kind of metaphysical experience, which fits directly into Fliegauf’s hypnotic-transcendent world, familiar from his earlier films Forest and Dealer.

Man from London is the closing film of cineMAgyar 9.3 @7pm - Andorra
Maloin leads a simple life without prospects at the edge of the infinite sea; he barely notices the world around him, has already accepted the slow and inevitable deterioration of life around him and his all but complete loneliness.
When he becomes a witness to a murder, his life takes a sudden turn.
He comes face to face with issues of morality, sin, punishment, the line between innocence and complicity in a crime, and this state of scepsis leads him to the ontological question of the meaning and worth of existence.
The film is about desire, man’s indestructible longing for a life of freedom and happiness, about illusions never to be realised – about things that give all of us energy to continue living, to go to sleep and get up day after day… Maloin’s story is ours – all of those who doubt and are able to question our humdrum existence.
Based on the novel L’homme de Londres by Georges Simenon

Iska’s journey is in program cineMAgyar 5.3 @7pm - Andorra
Iska is a twelve year-old girl living on the streets in a coalmining town in Eastern Europe. The story follows her initiation journey from her small town until the Black Sea where she becomes a victime of traffic in women and girls. Street children play themselves in this story which is full of their vitality and eagerness to escape their fate. When Iska is taken to an orphanage and asked if her parents hurt her, she is happy to answer, ‘They do not beat me every day.’
