KIX
KIX is a 12-year odyssey following Sanyi's journey from a rowdy street kid in Budapest to a disillusioned young adult. Fueled by an unlikely friendship with filmmakers Dávid and Bálint, the film captures the evolution of Sanyi's life marked by family struggles, school issues, and the weight of surrogate fatherhood to his newborn sister. As Sanyi faces the challenges of adolescence, the filmmakers shift from active participants to observers in his life's troubles; these culminate in a tragic turn of events forcing him to confront the responsibilities of adulthood.
Bálint Révész is the founder behind a handful of film related organizations such as Gallivant Film, Roughhouse Project, Kontra and Kulturlink. Révész’ films focus on controversial subject matter and are meticulously produced; his first feature documentary Granny Project (2017) was 7 years in the making and has since received numerous awards. Révész is the director/producer behind KIX.
Dávid Mikulán is an Intermedia artist and filmmaker who graduated from the Fine Art University, Budapest. Making films since age 12, his artistic practice is influenced by skateboarding, punk music, Fluxus, video art and experimental music. His work's main focus is how public spaces have an effect on social structures. As a volunteer and filmmaker, he has worked together with NGOs and human rights organizations.
