Sára László • Producer, Campfilm


What type of films are you interested in making? What is your company’s production philosophy?
The films produced by Campfilm are author-driven films, mostly dealing with social issues. The focus is always on very personal, human stories. We often work with first-time filmmakers. Both of us producers at Campfilm - Marcell Gerő and I - come from a film direction background, we’re close to the creation process. This also means that we commit to a relatively small number of projects at a time.
What do you think of the film financing system in Hungary?
The Hungarian film financing system has gone through several changes in recent years. The National Film Institute’s current regulations are clear and are mostly based around practical film production needs. One big advantage is the year-round nature of the funding application process, and a reliable tax incentive model representing 30%. One of the Institute’s major goals is to encourage international co-productions. In 2015, the institute’s predecessor, the Hungarian National Film Fund launched the Inkubator program - a special funding pool to support young directors making their first feature film - which is a very successful initiative. The system is more favourable to feature films; feature-length documentaries with potential for cinema release aren’t given as much attention and aren’t seen as important at the moment, so the recently founded Hungarian Documentary Association (HDA) is now in dialogue with decision-makers in order to initiate changes which will facilitate the production of these films.

Shocking WWII Berlin Fest Competition Drama 'Natural Light' Gets First Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)


Shocking WWII Berlin Fest Competition Drama 'Natural Light' Gets First Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)

Variety by sales company Luxbox.
Set in icy marshland in Russia during WWII, “Natural Light” accompanies corporal István Semetka, drafted into a Hungarian unit whose mission is to locate and kill Russian partisans hiding in the woodlands.
More from Variety
Lodging at a benighted village whose houses are wooden shacks, its peasantry slopping down its muddy street sometimes shoe-less, Semetka’s company takes a route out of the hamlet recommended by the head of the village and comes under guerrilla fire, the company head being killed. When a sergeant major arrives to take command, the reprisal against the village will no doubt haunt Semetka for the rest of his days.

The Malahide man who worked his way up and made his Malibu dream a reality


The Malahide man who worked his way up and made his Malibu dream a reality
Wild Geese: Dave Stewart is general manager at Little Beach House in LA

Opportunities to work beachside in Malibu don’t come around very often, so when restaurant manager Dave Stewart saw his chance, he went for it.
“As a kid I watched things like Baywatch. I followed American sports, I listened to bands like the Beach Boys. You can’t help but dream about being there.”
After growing up in Malahide in Dublin, Stewart got the travel bug well before landing in tinseltown in 2016. “After finishing school in 2000, I studied CAD – computerised design – in Dún Laoghaire College of Art and Design. I worked in design after completing his degree.”
