Kovásznai shot five films with Dezső Korniss between1963 and 1970 under the aegis of Pannónia Filmstudio. They got acquainted in1958 and since then they shared tight creative and personal connections.Thus, their mutual influence can be noticed in their works. Especially their first creation the film titled “Monologue”, had a remarkable effect. It was first projected in 1964, and proved to be a worthy continuity of the avantgard scene from before World War II. Even in this collage film you can savor the method called constructive-surrealist semathik worked out by Dezső Korniss and Lajos Vajda in 1963.This kind of concious collection of motives and picture creation results in their first film’s scenery while honest approach to their profession, open develpoment of family stories and putting them into wider historical context ensures the self-reflexion, hence creating a multi-layered film. Further films were made along the same lines of experimentation. It is enough to watch the “Diary of a painter”, where series of Korniss’s paintings moulding into each other create a narrativa, while in their work titled “Something different” we come to know the story of a woman through moderate, minimalist animation intervention.
