Following the Venice success "Vacsora" was invited to the 18th Cottbus Film Festival. The Cottbus festival is a celebration of Eastern European cinema. It was established in 1990 in commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. "Vacsora" was the only short film invited from Hungary and was honored with the Main Prize during the closing night ceremonies. Having specific post-socialist era themes laced throughout the story this acknowledgement was especially meaningful to us.
Just before the Cottbus Festival the "Vacsora" was showcased in Prague through a yearly program hosted by Hungarian Ministry of Culture. In a special program the Ministry of Culture presents a collection of high profile domestic films (in a given year) in foreign cultural centers. It is so wonderful to see the film getting good exposure on its own turf reinforcing our beliefs that the film taps socially and culturally relevant material.
