This year’s Cinemira TEEN feature film panorama program features three award-winning European youth films, two of which will be screened in Hungary for the very first time before they hit the cinemas later this years.

The Hungarian premiere and the opening film of Cinemira TEEN won the best youth film award (Generation Kplus) at the Berlinale. Comedy Queen is a Swedish film in which a 12-year-old girl wants to make her grieving father laugh, so she tries to put together a stand-up performance. The film’s ambassador is Eszter Rasko, an outstanding female performer of Hungarian stand-up.

Olga

For the first time, the Hungarian audience will be able to see the Swiss film Olga, which was also awarded at Cannes, a twisted drama set during the Euromaidan, which was also considered a precursor to the Ukrainian war.

Cinemira Teen will also screen the Danish film Nothing which can also be apostrophized as the 21st-century Lord of the Flies,  and is an adaptation of Janne Teller’s international bestseller of the same name. The Danish novel caused a huge controversy, it was first banned in its home country, and then made mandatory reading in schools.
