Sándor Reisenbüchler

Sándor Reisenbüchler is frequently referred to as the ‘loneliest artist’ of Hungarian cinema, the ‘hermit of animation’. It was characteristic of his one-man, markedly auteuristic working method that he formulated his plans in a free verse-like way. His collage films presented the universal struggle between Good and Evil, with the central question being the responsibility for culture and natural environment. He was one of the most significant filmmakers of the legendary Pannónia Film Studio; his works were characterized by near superhuman precision. They garnered success not only in Hungary but worldwide.
