Káel Csaba: Háklis vagyok rá, hogy ne törekedjen semmi a zene elé
Interjú a Magyar menyegző rendezőjével
New film: “Hungarian Wedding/Magyar menyegző” (director: Káel Csaba). Filmed in Hungary and Transylvania, a romantic Hungarian folk dance and music film telling a story set in the end of the 1970s and working with the strength of folk tradition and culture. Its world premiere was at the Tallinn Film Festival fall, 2025; it opened in Hungary January 22, 2026. The director describes the film as a ‘Rom-Com’. Here is printed an interview with “Hungarian Wedding”/”Magyar menyegző” director Káel Csaba. The film is centered around the folk music and dance of Transylvania’s Kalotaszeg region. The director hopes to reach beyond the small sector of those already interested in folk music and dance with a story about youth that any person can relate to. In part he wanted to relay his own experience at a Transylvanian wedding and the life energy he felt there. He describes himself as a film director that is fussy about his work, for example if he’s making a film about music, nothing should get in the way of the music. He also mentions that he wanted to portray the amazing Kalotaszeg traditional costume as an organic part of life, rather than as a museum attraction. When not directing films, Káel is director of Budapest’s Palace of the Arts. By Horváth Bálint – first published Jan 28, 2026 at magyar.film.hu.
