RIGA IFF 2025 Construction Time Again

Night Sky Elevator

Night Sky Elevator Directed by: Csanád Baksa-Soós
Produced by: Zsuzsanna Vincze, MOME Anim, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
HU 2025 9' No dialogue

The screen is a blank page, while the camera and other “weapons” in the filmmaking arsenal serve as a pencil. As night falls, the world shifts and flashes; along with a new day, people from the past arrive, and an equilibrist is about to cross the screen. Landscapes — distant and strange, intimate and endlessly reproduced — come to life, guided by the author’s intuition. But what will be the conclusion of this personal carousel of images?

Baksa-Soós always keeps a pencil at hand — hence the film’s epigraph. Working with paper cutouts and drawing-based animation techniques while blending different media, he explores the very texture of cinema. Born in Munich and trained in media design and animation at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Baksa-Soós works through observation of himself and his surroundings. Rather than following a clear narrative, his films unfold through associations that brim with energy, provoking and awakening both the senses and the mind of the viewer.
