'Cataclysm' by Marcell Betlej
Promonews - 8th Dec 2025
A music short by Marcell Betlej about the cyclical nature of existence — destruction, rebirth, repetition, and ultimately the possibility of breaking the cycle.
Where the world repeatedly drifts to the edge of destruction, and there are those who fight to break this cycle in a unique, metaphysical way. That is represented in the film by the dancer Brigitta Egyed, who uses her movement to counter the encroaching borders and hairline cracks that threaten her.
"A symbolic idea that changing the microcosm can transform the macrocosm, even if there is no obvious or sensible direct connection," says Betlej.
