László Nemes

Born in Hungary, László Nemes spent his adolescence and young adulthood in Paris, having in 1989 followed his mother who started a new life in the French capital. László Nemes grew up between two countries and two cultures, choosing to first study in Paris (Paris Institute of Political Studies, then
cinema at the Sorbonne, University of Paris 3) before leaving for Budapest, in 2003 at the age of 26, to learn the ropes of filmmaking. He thus became Béla Tarr’s assistant on the Prologue segment of the collaborative film Visions of Europe and on The Man from London. He then directed three short films, notably With a Little Patience. Surrounded by a small, loyal and close-knit team, László Nemes has spent the last five years bringing this project to fruition.
