Hi! We are
Scallabouche Film & Theatre Company
We are creating low-budget, independent films that explore existential themes, challenge political boundaries, and offer audiences space to reflect, dream, and connect with shared human experiences.
STORIES DISCOVERED THROUGH IMPROVISATION
Scallabouche is an independent film and theatre company based in Budapest, creating original work through writing, rehearsal and improvisation.
We don’t begin with every answer. We create situations, work with actors to discover what we haven’t anticipated, and allow those discoveries to reshape the story.
We believe audiences should have a role too. Rather than explaining everything, our films create space for viewers to make connections, question their judgements and discover their own relationship with the characters.
Our current project, The Ways of…, takes this process further: an evolving feature film discovered through four interconnected short films, developed over several years.
We create situations in which ideas can be discovered. Rather than making films that illustrate ideas.

TMFF FILm festival's winner
“This short film is also about destinies, but the discursive stakes launched by the Hungarian director have something of the depth of Jim Jarmusch’s dialogues, as well as the absurd humour of Beckett’s plays. Not by chance, the protagonist of the short film is immobilised in his own car, much like Winnie from “Happy Days”, the embedded Beckettian character who is also on her way to the final revelation of her own existence.”
