Reisz moves from Venice Horizons winner to Spotlight with 'Ground Floor'

Gábor Reisz, whose 'Explanation for Everything' won Venice's Horizons Best Film in 2023, world-premieres 'Ground Floor' in the festival's Spotlight section on 10 September 2026. The Hungarian-Italian co-production uses a mould infestation spreading through an apartment block as a microcosm of Hungary's political fault lines, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Berlin-based Films Boutique handles international sales. Spotlight, a curated non-competitive programme of up to eight works, positions titles for awards-season conversation.
