(MTI) - The 18th Titanic festival being held in film theatres throughout Budapest will feature Essential Killing, a Polish-Norwegian-Irish-Hungarian co-production, a drama for which editor Reka Lemhenyi shared the Polish Film Academy's first prize in Warsaw on Monday. The film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski stars American actor Vincent Gallo, who plays a soldier escaping from a Taliban prison.
A Romanian-Hungarian-French production 'Morgen' follows the fortunes of a fanatical Romanian angler and his family. The hero is played by Andras Hathazi, an actor-director at the Cluj State Hungarian Theatre, while other Hungarian cast members are Szabolcs Hajdu and Istvan Danko.
A Danish-Hungarian film version of Mozart's Don Giovanni depicts the protagonist's life-work: building a film database of every woman he has seduced. Scriptwriter Paul Viragh, who is of Hungarian origin, is behind the story of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, a British production about Ian Dury.
The Titanic event is hosting for the sixth time a competition with an international jury member; this time round Dutch director Esther Rots.
