Eszter Cseke and Andras S. Takacs are acclaimed directors, digging for human stories behind the news with two cameras, without a crew, giving their films extraordinary intimacy and honesty from the revolution in Egypt to the uprising in Burma.
The motto of the couple is from Robert Capa, the Hungarian war photographer: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." The filmmakers have received numerous awards for their previous shorts and medium-length films including the Press Freedom Award in Strasbourg from the Council of Europe, the Prix Jury in Karlovy Vary at the Tourfilm Festival, the Golden Nymph for Best Documentary at the Monte Carlo TV Festival from Prince Albert, the Gold Plaque at the 50th Chicago International Film Festival Television Awards.
