LA Spotlight Award Win for Hungarian Cinematographer Behind ‘Orphan’
- 10 Mar 2026 7:12 AM
The 40th ASC awards were handed over in Los Angeles late on Sunday.
The film follows a 12-year-old boy in ruined Budapest in 1957, after the bloody suppression of the anti-communist uprising of 1956. Andor still hopes that his father, who disappeared in the second world war, will return.
His world comes crashing down when a man claiming to be his father moves in with his mother; he refuses to accept the state of affairs and tries to save his family from the man he sees as a stranger, despite the growing distance between him and his mother.
Andor was played by Bojtorjan Barabas, with Andrea Waskovits and Gregory Gadebois in supporting roles.
Nemes Jeles's most successful film, Son of Saul, won the Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA prizes.
