The award of the city of Szeged was given to Martin Helstáb at the Zsigmond Vilmos International Film Festival, where over 400 works were screened. The student of Kaposvár University participated in the festival with his short film 'The Mouse who wanted to be a mouse'.

Zsigmond Vilmos International Film Festival was founded to commemorate the Oscar-winning Hungarian director of photography. The aim of the festival is to provide opportunity for talented young filmmakers, similarly to Vilmos Zsigmond, who also helped the career of younger colleagues.

This year almost four hundred films were included in the program, much more than last year. The productions came from all over the world to compete for the prize.
The main prize of the festival was awarded to the British short movie titled 'The Voice', while the Szeged City Prize was given to the student of Kaposvár University, Martin Helstáb.

The short film tells the story of a computer mouse, who, having been replaced with another, starts off a new life in the nature as a real mouse. The jury was impressed by the unique imagery and experimental techniques of the movie, as well as the creative power of the idea and the inspiring conceptual background.

Two weeks ago, the talented young artist won one of the main prizes at the Cegléd Film Festival for another work of his own, titled 'You must die'.

416 competitors were battling through mud, running and climbing straw bales at the cross-country running race on Saturday, 14 April at Kaposvár University. Our athletes performed excellently as they won two championship titles in the individual race and also a second and a third place in the team competition.

The race was held in bright sunshine with the participation of many local citizens, including young and older people. Kaposvár University and the co-organiser Hungarian Defense Forces had developed a more difficult course than in previous year. The runners had to jump over or climb obstacles and a wet muddy ditch was one of the challenges.

KE Cross Run is becoming more and more popular, and the success is also shown by the fact that it was included among the official sports of the Hungarian University and College Sports Federation. Both male and female individual winners, Bence Szerb and Bogi Mehring are athletes of Kaposvár University. In the team competition the university earned a second and a third place. This year’s race attracted a hundred more runners than last year.
