The feature debut of director M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Prikler Fine, Thanks<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (2013) was selected for the Bright Future section, where the festival presents up-and-coming new talents. The films is a feature-length film consisting of three main stories, and an epilogue. The stories take place during the current financial crisis that affects the intimate lives of the characters and reveals a harsh picture of their twisted relations. The applied narrative method, which is based on observation and borders on documentary filmmaking, is also the key approach in portraying a world that is losing morals but has not yet lost all hope.<\/p>\n

The film was a part of the Work in Progress Arc 1950 Coproduction Village presentation of the 3rd Les Arcs European FF.<\/p>\n

The short Fine, Thanks <\/em><\/strong>(2009), one of the short stories of the feature film, was selected for the La Cin\u00e9fondation at the 63rd MFF Cannes in 2010.<\/p>\n
