MELEGVIZEK ORSZAGALAND OF WARM WATERS
Igor et Ivan Buharov
Ayahuasca, radio waves, paranormal phenomena…Here are some of the ingredients of this new work filmed in 8mm by the Buharov brothers – an unfettered fantasy. In addition, there is a cactus and other plants, unexplained skin breakouts, a handful of magi and a mysterious mayor who completes the cast of this film about a modicum of science and, above all, fiction. In this wacky world there is a vast array of whimsical characters, each one undertaking their own personal metaphysical/ futuristic quest. The film is an ode to a kind of anarchy, a heterogeneous mishmash joyously made on a shoestring, like films from the dawn of the industry. Moreover, it’s a fairy-tale swarming with echoes of recent events and contemporary political questions in Hungary and beyond.
