A Country like no other in Europe, Hungary is influenced by the rhythms of its rivers. White-tailed eagles, otters and enormous catfish share the wetlands with many other species living close to the local people, often unnoticed. The Country’s inhabitants have learnt to cope with alternating floods and droughts. “Wild Hungary” is their story presenting some never-before-filmed animal behaviour like dancing deer or wintering catfish.
Zoltan Török is definitely a swamp guy. However he has always been longing for filming in the mountainous areas of the world but yet somehow he usually ends up with his camera in extensive wetlands where he enthusiastically feeds the mosquitoes. Zoltan Török is a director/producer and cinematographer. He has started to work in the film and television industry more than one and half decade ago. Soon he moved towards high-end productions for the international market with Scandinature Films, Sweden. After participating in the Discovery Masterschool and taking an internship at BBC’s NHU he has founded Wild Tales Productions (aka Azara Film). And by no surprise the company’s first international coproduction (in association with NDR Naturfilm) was about his home country’s bogs, swamps and marshes: Wild Hungary – A Water Wonderland.
