“HungariCom is the coolest, most easy-going and extremely successful Film Distribution company in Hungary, Budapest; – ran by great, caring, down-to-earth and honest people who truly love movies and believe in their craft. They're God-sent to the film industry's shark infested waters, where usually a lot of vicious and greedy predators swimming around in their tiny european speedos.
Hooray for HUNGARICOM!!!!!”
Gabor CSUPO
“Having a Long Tradition in film making Hungary can now finally show its product to the world. True HungariCom, the first independent film distribution company representing a new generation of Hungarian Films. They promise great fun and excitement. A new insight into Eastern Europe that we are not used to seeing – Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.”

Immigrants is the story of Vladislav (a Russian), and Joska (a Hungarian). Both are immigrants and best friends, living and chasing the American dream together. Vlad has a daughter, Anya, who's adapting to life in America at the speed of light, while her dad is in complete culture shock. They stay at the Vista del Mar, an apartment complex run by an old failed actress, Greta Knight, who is always after Vlad for sexual favors. The building is home to immigrants from all over the world: Flaco, a friend from Mexico; Mr. Chea, who runs a Chinese family restaurant; Nazim, a former Pakistani nuclear scientist who drives a tour bus; and Mr. Splits, an old black pimp. We follow Vlad and Joska in their adventures… through their encounter with the American capitalist company Glut-co, through their attempt to open a Russian/Hungarian restaurant, and as their friendship is put in jeopardy when they hit the L.A. night scene. All the while Vlad is looking for a way to make a life for himself and his daughter; and Joska… well, Joska is mainly looking for women. With a story that is comedic and yet poignant, Immigrants is a movie for anyone who ever had a dream.

Zsuzsi has the prefect life: by thirty she has a great job, two degrees, a nice car and a place of her own. One day, however, the young professional wakes up realizing that something is wrong… She can’t breathe and her heart is racing. After her lover Kirill dumps her she admits herself to the „Panic Clinic”. She finds herself under the care of an overambitious therapist, who uses strange treatments on her and on other patients. Eventually, Zsuzsi’s highest asperation is to find the ability to leave the clinic, open the gate, get out and rejoin society. Outside the Clinic all is „normal”: Zsuzsi’s mother, Elli and her friend, Ilona (two middle aged divas) embark on a shopping spree looking for adventure. Ilona’s daughter has a newborn baby yet is consumed with anxiety over motherhood. Zsuzsi’s brother wants to free his mother Elli from an evil body snatching alien – at the point of a gun. The supercops quarell endlesly over their homosexual identities – and eventually come to blows. Zsuzsi must choose – either remain anxious for the rest of her life or get herself together and start anew.

Cat Catcher, the robot dog pacified all civilized cats at the end of the original Cat City film (1986) and as a result of this cats and mice live a peaceful co-existence. How can you carry on from this point? There remained an unpacified cat tribe in the Pafrican Jungle. They learn about the fate of their kinscats from a busy bee journalist mouse called Stanley who is captured by blood-mice and hunter cats at the end of his successful expedition to find Livingstone in the jungle. The jungle cats evoke the first deputy chief of hell, Moloch and they set out with him to put the world back to order. Whether they succeed in this or not remains unanswered until one watches CATcher – Cat City 2.

One day, however, luck strikes them. They discover that an oilpipe is runnning underneath the cemetry. They hit upon the idea of drilling the pipe and selling the oil under the mask of a funeral.
Money is flowing. Everybody is happy and content. But the next day they all start to sell oil for their own pockets. And the trouble does not come alone...
The representative of the Austrian oil company appears in the village to arrange the case but the village chases him away right into the police’ arms. The people of the village are determined and would not give up the oil. They stand up against the police power using an idea that seems to work out perfectly. The only thing is that the ideas that seem perfect do not always come out right.

Boróka has at last come of age and receives a substantial lump sum as part of her home-starter grant. All she wants to do is to be treated like a “real human being” and celebrate her birthday in a luxury hotel with her boyfriend, János. Life in paradise looks set to come to an abrupt end when the cash runs out. Boróka, with no money and no options, moves in with her boyfriend who is keen to supplement his income by selling her body to calling clients. Boróka’s fate seems set until a local pimp, Ronaldó, offers János a motorbike in exchange for his devoted girlfriend. The temptation proves too great... Ronaldó takes Boróka and plants her on the verge of a main road in the hope that his newly acquired “virtual virgin” will pull in plenty of punters. Used and abused by a swift succession of eager takers, she ignores Ronaldó’s threats of violence and decides to take her chances on her own. She first bumps into Móric filling in a lottery slip who later finds himself with a ringside seat to a chance meeting between Boróka and her pursuing pimp. With nowhere left to go, Boróka accepts Móric’s offer of accommodation and moves into his trendy atelier…

David is king of life, media darling, tabloid star, and not least „the most wanted bachelor in Budapest.” Nowadays everyone seems to forget about the fact that once he was a writer. For all his life, David’s been surrounded by women. He lives his life constantly on the move, with two suitcases, avoiding all forms of dependance. Until today – when his rich girlfriend leaves for good, and his publisher sues him for failing to deliver a new book in three years. David is in instant need of money. The enchanting executive of the publishing company brings him to an ultimatum: if he manages to write a book within 10 days, he’ll get his money and reputation back. She even offers the topic: Why are there so many lonely young women nowdays? David’s farthest desire was to dive into the dizzy love affairs with singles. But as his living depends on this job, he reluctantly accepts the job. This is how he gets into the terrifying situation – for the first time in his life – where he has to listen to and under-stand what women tell him. He meets 10 women in 10 days, and before he realizes what is going on around him, he’s life as he know it would never be the same again.

Benedek Fliegauf’s goal was to make a psyche-delic film that, similarly to the ambient musical style, allows the viewer to receive the film on vari-ous levels and does not force any concrete inter-pretation. Reception of a film in this manner cre-ates a kind of metaphysi-cal experience, which fits directly into Fliegauf’s hypnotic-transcendent world.

Buhera Matrix is virtual reality. To be more exact, the world we live in is a load of old rubbish. Through the stories that provide the film’s foundation, we see Hungary in the 80-90’s as well as the present day as seen through the eyes of the 70’s generation. Buhera Matrix has also been adapted for television based on this very original film. www.buheramatrix.hu

A film about sex, love and youth. What happens if a teenage boy meets the woman of his dreams? The woman is a little bit older, a little bit married and a little bit unfaithful – but hey, nobody’s perfect! The main thing is she exists, he can see her, he can touch her and she even seems mildly interested so he has to get her, no matter what. www.tiborvagyok.hu

The motto of the film is: “Wonders do exist!” How could a homeless guy in his 50s and of Greek origin, in Hungary turn into a hotel-owner in Crete? How could two people fall in love despite living on different sides of the world and without speaking the other’s language? The film provides us with a bit of warmth, luck and happiness all set on the enchanting isle of Crete. www.csudafilm.hu
