The six-day festival will include not only Fliegauf's feature films, Forest, Dealer and Milky Way, but also his feature-length documentaries Is There Life Before Death, and his rarely shown shorts Talking Heads, Hypnosis, The Line and Trance.

 

Fliegauf's new feature-length documentary Sparkle, in which the director interviews three people about their near-death experiences, will be shown on December 3. One of the three people Fliegauf talks with in the film is the Kossuth Prize-winning author Péter Nádas, who earlier wrote about his near-death experience in the book Own Death (2004). The book ealier inspired another Hungarian filmmaker, Péter Forgács.

 

Sparkle will be shortly be released on DVD by Mokép, together with Milky Way. The DVD will also include four shorts by the director.
