Közgáz Visual Brigade (KVB)
The Közgáz Visual Brigade (KVB) is an independent Hungarian filmmaking collective and production workshop founded in 1983. Emerging from the film club of the predecessor institution of today’s Corvinus University of Budapest, the group became known for its lyrical absurdity, irony, social reflection, and experimental approach to filmmaking. KVB is regarded as one of the most influential underground film communities in Hungary, preserving its free-spirited and satirical outlook to this day.
Selected Films:
-
Országalma (1998): A cult satire directed by György Czabán and György Pálos, considered one of the greatest successes of Hungarian low-budget independent cinema.
