KIX

Synopsis

KIX chronicles the vibrant life of Sanyi, an adventurous 8-year-old in Budapest, who finds freedom in the city streets. Surrounded by filmmaker friends, he navigates childhood with wild abandon. However, a tragic incident on his 16th birthday thrusts him into the spotlight as a misunderstood youth, caught between youthful recklessness and societal neglect.  

'KIX is characterised by video art, trash, and music videos. It's a balancing act between observational vérité and active interaction between subjects and filmmakers, displaying an incredible immediacy that tends to confront rather than explain. The film actively reflects upon the relationship between subject and filmmakers and witnessing the evolution on both sides raises the core questions of documentary filmmaking: does observation change the observed and in KIX's case, the observers?' - Bálint RÉVÉSZ and Dávid MIKULÁN
