Zoltan Sipos

Contributing editor

Sipi is a fairy who hangs above us like a huge, ever-smiling, men’s fragrance-smelling umbrella. He can be called anytime, anywhere to lend a helping hand, and he’ll be there in an hour with one of his Transits for sure. A dangerously maniac car collector (the street in front of his house is full of his vehicles), a radio-control and model car freak, Sipos is a Swiss knife made of human flesh. Totalcar is just one job amongst his zillion occupations, but he endears it the most. Lives with a girlfriend and two dogs.

This short film wins every award. Because it's that good.

"Elderly couple in the trafic. The wife chitchats, warns, controls. She is a policeman, a GPS and a commentator at the same time. The husband growls or bursts out. This is how their world works. But life is a constant replanning..."

Whichever film festival the short movie of Barnabás Tóth gets invited to, it almost certainly wins a prize in its category. It recently won the Carshorts festival in Berlin, received the prize for best short movie in Vukovar, and the silver BuSho in Seattle, to name but a few.

Can you name the car the couple drives without looking at the photos in the film's facebook gallery?
