A Atalanta

Because of the formal freshness and expressive power that characterize the story of an uncharacteristic sisterhood in a distinctly dialectical sociocultural context. A modern sisterhood that uncompromisingly overcomes conformism and traditional schemes and expresses a strong will to survive in a patriarchal society by formulating new rules and commandments.

This film delivers a refreshing portrayal of sisterhood through its bold filmmaking choices. The exquisitely composed sound score combined with stellar performances give context and power to female anger.

A short film can speak to the viewer as a fragment of a larger whole, or as a carefully crafted miniature. With Bits, the director Áron Horváth Botka managed to create a work that brilliantly demonstrates the full potential of the short format, thanks to compelling directorial and acting performance and an extraordinary emotional effect that is perfectly comparable to that of a feature-length drama. Bits is one of the short films where there is nothing to add or take away, a film that achieves its full potential exactly as it is.
