Poesie der Filmsprache – Hommage à János Tóth

"Poetry of Film Language" (Jan. 28) is dedicated to the cinematographer and director János Tóth, a master of image design. He created a new genre in collaboration with Zoltán Huszárik - the film-poem, of which the short CAPRICCIO (1969) is an example. But he reached the purest form of the film-poem with his own work ARÉNA (1979), which is constructed from dynamically changing image sequences. István Bácskai Lauró's lyrical documentary IGÉZET (The Spell, 1963), a Gesamtkunstwerk with elements of painting, music, and literature, is considered a pioneer of form.
