Metaforumfilm

Metaforum Film Studio has been been making award-winning documentaries since 2004. The Studio’s main profile is creative social documentary film-making. The Studio’s members include some of Hungary’s leading young sociologists who have crossed over into filmmaking, as well as filmmakers who are committed to social issues. The members have a wide range of experience and a long list of references in their field of expertise. In the last six years the Studio produced a wide range of high-quality work including nine documentary films, a documentary series (Chinese express), a public service and commercial media campaign, video clips, tv-spots and short films. The Studio’s works have been broadcast on several national tv channels, screened at national and international festivals as well as released on DVD and via on-line streaming. In 2009 a new phase of development began when Balázs Wizner, producer and founder of the Studio, as well as sociologist, decided to set up a new company in order to further develop improve the Studio. Thus, Metaforum Film Ltd. was formed together with Gyula Kormos, a well known television professional and documentary film director with 15 years of experience at the major Hungarian television channels. In 2009-2010, Metaforum Film managed a country-wide media campaign for European Integration Fund dealing with tolerance of immigrants, as well as producing two documentary films and a short feature film (Kulocity). The company also employs an executive producer, Lídia Bánóczi, who has more than ten years experience in film making. In addition, the Studio has a network of young and talented specialists with many years of experience in all the film-making disciplines. The cinematographers of the film employed by the projects have been in close working relations with the Studio for many years. Their professional skills, personal capacities and experience are evident and prove their ability to contribute to high standard productions.
