The feature animation of the Hungarian filmmaker Áron Gauder delighted
its audiences when it was released three years ago in Hungary, and has
enjoyed a similar success during its recent Canadian and US release.
Acclaimed by critics, the film is now in town and we would be grateful
to you if you would help us advertise the event. Described as ³an
Eastern European South Park² at the 2006 Seattle International Film
Festival, *The District/ /*(/*Nyocker!*/) has been rewarded with more
than a
dozen honours at various film festivals since 2005.
/A group of teens from the wrong side of Budapest¹s tracks band together
to make themselves rich by traveling back in time, burying a horde of
wooly mammoths under the city¹s streets, then returning to the present
and drilling for oil. As creators of a new oil-producing nation, their
scheme draws the attention of Putin (who uses the district¹s Russian
hookers as spies), Blair and George W. Bush. In the midst of it all,
star-crossed teen love is in bloom. This outrageous and visually
stunning animated satire plays like an unhinged ghetto updating of Romeo
& Juliet smash-filtered through a politically-charged ‹ and
politically-incorrect - kaleidoscope of clashing world views and social
unrest, complete with musical numbers and a wicked soundtrack of
Hungarian hip-hop. You have never seen anything like it./
We hope that your community will be well represented from Wednesday,
December 19 at the Pioneer because /*The District*/ (*/Nyocker!/*)
deserves to be seen in 35 mm. ³Buy the ticket, take the ride!²
