After Rain

Daazo's offering includes such rarities as the experimental film Overture which won the Palme d'Or in 1965. In the film, János Vadász used intimate close-ups to show a chick hatching from an egg. The poetic images are accompanied by Beethoven's Egmont Overture.

 
Marcell Jankovics, who emerged as a major talent among a new generation of Hungarian animators, took the Palme d'Or for his film Fight in 1977. It used very simple visual effects to draw, quite literally, the struggle between a sculptor and his sculpture.
 
Béla Vajda's film Moto Perpetuo, which won the Palme d'Or in 1981, is adapted from the Hungarian author István Örkény's collection of absurd One-minute Stories.
       
Marcell Iványi's Wind, a single take in black and white inspired by Lucien Hervé's Three Women, won the prize in 1996.
 
Péter Mészáros's After Rain, a montage of a bicycle ride, took the Palme d'Or in 2002.
