Once again, Lake Balaton has inspired numerous short films in the Cinemira and MOZ.GO MobilBalaton competition, where young creators won valuable awards. This year’s jury consisted of actress Blanka Mészáros, and film directors Ádám Breier and László Csáki. The grand prize was awarded to the Magyarpolány Team’s short film “Balcsi.” The jury also presented several special awards, and the audience voted for their favorite.
On June 14th at 11 AM, the awards ceremony for the Cinemira MobilBalaton video competition was held at the MOZ.GO Hungarian Motion Picture Festival in Hangvilla, Veszprém, with nearly a full house screening the finalist films.
This year’s jury was composed of actress Blanka Mészáros, and film directors Ádám Breier and László Csáki. Although László Csáki could not attend the event, he participated in the evaluation and sent his brief assessments of each work, which Károly Ascher conveyed to the audience.
The audience award was won by Gergő Czobor for his short film “Balatoni szülinap” (“Birthday at Balaton”). The jury also awarded two special prizes: the first to Lili Tálos for her film “Boldogság” (“Happiness”), and the second to Márton Körmendy for his film “A víz mélye” (“The Depth of Water”). The grand prize was awarded to the Magyarpolány Team for their short film “Balcsi,” mentored by Andor Horváth.
