Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2015: #53. Gyorgy Palfi’s The Voice

Date:

The Voice

Director: Gyorgy Palfi// Writer: Gyorgy Palfi

Hungarian director Gyorgy Palfi, who debuted with Hukkle back in 2002 before gaining considerable international attention for his innovative and batshit crazy sophomore film, Taxidermia (2006), has since made three other features, including the experimental 2012 film Final Cut, and this year’s Free Fall which took home the Best Director (and two other prizes) at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. His latest project, The Voice, recently won the title ‘best work in progress’ at the Les Arc Fest, something he’s been financing since before Free Fall. An English language feature, the movie follows a thirtysomething Hungarian journalist on the trail of his father, who disappeared in the ’70s after being involved in a secret military research project for the U.S. government, with the director comparing the title to Man on Wire.

Cast: Not available.

Producer(s): Not available.

U.S. Distributor: Rights available

Release Date: Depending on when the title begins filming, we’re thinking this should be ready for the fall festival slate and should grant Gyorgy Palfi a more visible platform.
