Gyula Nemes (b. 1974, Vác, Hungary) initially studied Czech and film science. He undertook postgraduate studies at FAMU under Věra Chytilová and Karel Vachek. The distinctive style of his mentors is clearly projected into the content and form of Nemes' highly nonconformist work, his accomplished raw shots and his bizarre characters. His feature debut My One and Onlies (Egyetleneim, 2006) was presented as part of Settimana della critica at Venice, and his graduate film Lost World (Letűnt világ, 2008) won Best Short Documentary at Karlovy Vary. The Czech fest also screened The Dike of Transience (A malundóság gátja, 2004) in the short documentary competition. His experimentation with farce and the grotesque, the singular stylisation of his black-and-white and colour imagery and the absence of traditional dialogue are also characteristic of Zero (2015).
