Berlinale, established in 1951, one of the most important cinema event of Europe will be held between 5th – 15th February 2004. Benedek Fliegauf has been invited back to the Forum section of the festival with his film Dealer made with Infrog Studio. Last year Fliegauf participated in the festival with his film Forest, in the Forum section which presents works that are innovative either technically or formally, and won the Wolfgang Staudte Prize. The only 30 year old director’s career has been followed by a great interest and several international recognitions, with the Youth Oscar from Dresden among them.

The other film invited by the festival is Who Is the Cat?, a short film directed by Péter Mészáros based on a short story by Péter Hajnóczy. The 8 minute long film will be presented in the Panorama section. The profession has paid special attention to the career of Mészáros, who works with Duna Workshop, since his film After Rain won the Golden Palm in Cannes in 2002. The film has been screened at nearly 50 different venues since then.

The Hungarian audience will have a chance to see both films at the 35th Hungarian Film Week beginning on 27th January.
