Presented as part of EFP's Shooting Stars programme, Nagy was joined by the Brit Andrew Garfield, who played in Robert Redford's Lions for Lambs, and the Romanian actress Anamaria Marinca, who played in the Golden Palm-winner Four Months, Three Weeks and Two Days.
Hungarian Film Union managing director Éva Vezér said excerpts from films with the young actors were shown at the presentation on Monday. Afterward, each of the actors offered an introduction.
"[Nagy] is a very strong character in this group," Vezér said. "All of this is of great assistance to the selected young artists," she added.
Nosedive (Zuhanórepülés), in which Nagy plays the male lead, will be shown at the Berlin film festival in the next few days, hopefully generating more interest in the film, Vezér said.
Nagy graduated from Budapest's Theatre and Film Arts College in 2000. As a member of the Krétákör Theatre, he won the prize for best young actor at the 2001 Pécs National Theatre Convention. His first film role was in Ferenc Török's Szezon. His second film was Nimród Antal's Kontroll, for which he won a best-supporting actor award at the Hungarian Film Week.
