Pinter Gabor - The Art of Film Making

Gábor Pintér went after stories for his films to countries no one else has dared to during wars and at times when walls have not come down just yet. He earned his B.A. in Directing, Film, TV, Radio and Theatre from the Academy of Fine Arts, Univ. of Novi Sad, Yugoslavia and a B.A. in English Language and Literature, Faculty of Philosophy from the same university.
A natural-born art hedonist, he began his involvement in the film industry at the tender age of 16.
