In memory of Janos Toth. The ciematographer on title is no other than János Tóth, who is still the role model and reference point for all Hungarian cinematographers. He has proven his unique talent in all cinematographic genres. In his unmissable features, shorts and documentary films, he set an example to his peers with his tight compositions and his art of light. His experimental cinematographic films, shot with the optics he developed, were far ahead of their time. Our portrait film explores the oeuvre of this exceptional cinematographic artist.
