Janos Kis is a Hungarian Avant-garde filmmaker, photographer. He re-evaluates the non-narrative forms of cinema, notedly the observational Contemporary Contemplative Cinema (slow cinema), capturing the common but mostly unpredictable occasions of everyday life.. He opens up a space for theoretical reconsideration on under-explored aspects of temporarily and beyond.

Emphasizing the storyline he uses minimalism, extreme long single static and tracking shots, natural light, original recorded "rough" audio sounds from location (if possible), paying attention to diegetic outside the frame sounds.

The story-line is written by life itself. When you slow down, the world slows down and let you reveal it, as Carl G. Jung synchronicity theory defines, the basically meant events are “meaningful coincidences” if they occur with no casual relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related.

Kis often mentions " I'm not directing my films in the classical meaning of the word. I'm just a messenger."

He works outside the dominant institutions of film making.

His films were screened and awarded at the Los Angeles Underground Film Forum, Cefalu Film Festival, Girona Film Festival. Los Angeles Experimental Forum, International Video Poetry Festival Athens

Influenced by Jonas Mekas, Chantal Akerman, Béla Tarr, Tsai Ming-Liang, Abbas Kiarostami, Andrei Tarkovsky, Ozu Yasujiro, etc...
