Following his transformation through the meeting with a snake, the film is  an allegory for the resilience and stubbornness that minorities and excluded have to endure in order to survive in our world. “Arni” by Dorka Vermes“Arni” by Dorka Vermes has been presented at Biennale College Cinema 2023.

The perfect actor

There is a longterm collaboration between Dorka Vermes and the actor Péter Turi, whose body and face and personality have been the major inspiration for the writing of the film. His powerful performance and his on-screen charisma bring the film to a higher level of intensity.

Shooting the snake(s)

Two snakes were used for the shooting , one bigger and one smaller, that Péter Turi should interact with physically. Some CGI was forcefully needed, with a serious  impact on the budget and timings required by the Biennale College rules.
