Lost Persons Area, a Belgian-Dutch-Hungarian co-production, has won the prize for best screenplay at the Semaine International de la Critique in Cannes.

The Semaine International de la Critique, or International Critics' Week, was started in 1962 as an alternative to the highly competitive context of the Cannes Film Festival. It invites seven feature films and seven shorts to participate at the same time as the Cannes Film Festival, seeking to discover new talent.

Miklós Zoltán Hajdu and Kimke Desart

Lost Persons Area, about Hungarian "guest workers" was directed by Caroline Strubbe and stars the Hungarian actor Miklós Zoltán Hajdu, best known from the film White Palms. The score for the film was written by the Hungarian composer Albert Márkos and it was co-produced by Új Budapest Film Studio.

The film's Hungarian producer László Kántor said feedback was positive after the film premiered. Lost Persons Area has been invited to several other festivals, he added.

Sam Louwyck and Lisbeth Gruwez

The studio's Flemish partners are in talks on co-productions of more feature films by the Hungarian directors Ferenc Török and Bálint Kenyeres as well, Kántor said.

Lost Persons Area is competing for the Caméra d'Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Lost Persons Area will premiere in Hungary in the autumn. The filmmakers are already at work on a sequel.
