Lights. Camera. Action. - The Stunt Performer's World

How are the spectacular scenes in action films created, and what does professional stunt work require in practice?

Hungarian stunt performer Balázs Szigethy takes the audience behind the scenes of the film industry. He shares insights into physical training, precise timing, choreography, teamwork, and safety practices - how a seemingly dangerous scene is executed as a controlled performance.

Szigethy began his career as a stunt performer in Hungary in 2009 alongside József Fodor. Since then, they have accumulated experience across dozens of Hollywood and Bollywood productions, including The Witcher, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The King, A Good Day to Die Hard, Game of Thrones, and Hercules. In this presentation, they share lessons and practical insights from their careers about maintaining physical and mental wellbeing under the demanding conditions of film production.

Kaapelitehdas, White Box, 18.9.2026, 18:00-19:00. Free admission. The presentation is in English.
