Bálint Klopfstein-László

A teenage girl suffering from a traumatizing injury is tangled in a web of lies trying to manage her studies, her prom night and a boy who might be interested in her.

Twenty years ago, one of the most influential bands in post-millennium Hungarian pop music, Bëlga, burst onto the scene. But the band members, who hide behind sunglasses and costumes, have always kept themselves hidden from the public eye, and so far no comprehensive documentary has been made about them, and they are rarely interviewed. Gergely Laki and Bálint Klopfstein-László's film Bëlga - Ancestral History focuses on the birth and early days of the band. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr62wO8A0ws)

Bugs, the banning of Pride, incitement against Ukraine — in 2025, Fidesz faces the looming threat of defeat, and Viktor Orbán’s camp has launched a counterattack. Many expect the most brutal campaign the regime has ever conducted. There’s nothing new about the method. Just as this isn’t the first time Orbán’s power has been in danger. Stolen public funds, the internet tax, brokerage scandals, the U.S. entry ban, the so-called "G-Day" — ten years ago, Fidesz’s support plummeted within months, and their system fell into crisis almost immediately after winning the 2014 election. But the arrival of masses fleeing war offered a perfect opportunity to test a new strategy. And the experiment worked: this was the moment when hate became the cornerstone of the Orbán regime.
