Concertissimo

Director: József Gémes | Hungary 1968 | 3 min | 16mm | Without dialogue

A grand orchestral concert falls out of sync as the musicians gradually break away from strict order. József Gémes condenses the breakdown of discipline into a sharp, almost slapstick short film lasting just under three minutes. The clear form and exaggeration quietly reflect the artistic spirit and social changes of late 1960s Hungary.
