“Orphan”, interview with director László Nemes

Interview during the 82nd edition of Venice International Film Festival with László Nemes, director of the film “Orphan”. The production, in Competition in Venice Film Festival 2025, takes us back to Hungary in 1957

In his interview with FRED Film Radio, our guest told us that the story of the film comes directly from his father’s, whose father was deported to a nazi concentration camp. László Nemes considers that the past is a source of lessons for the present, and tries to convey that look through the life of a 13 year old teenager.

“Orphan” begins with a little prologue in 1949, when we meet our protagonist. Then, in 1957, Andor tries to survive in a Hungary that lives in the shadows of the Second World War and under the rule of a totalitarian regime.
