Dragons over Kabul

The new Hungarian war action drama is based on the events of the 2021 Operation Shaman Shield, when the Hungarian Defence Forces evacuated hundreds of people from Kabul as the city fell under Taliban control. Told through the perspective of a Hungarian doctor and Hungarian soldiers, the film portrays the human and moral dramas unfolding in a city descending into chaos, as its characters struggle to hold on to the last spark of hope amid the turmoil of war.

Although the story is set in Afghanistan, the film was entirely shot in Hungary, which posed significant visual and logistical challenges for the crew. One of the filmmakers' biggest tasks was to faithfully recreate the Afghan environment and the chaotic scenes at Kabul airport. Visual effects played a key role in achieving this: nearly 600 digitally enhanced shots were used to bring the war-torn setting to life. The appearance of the outdoor locations was further refined and expanded through digital alterations to make the environment feel authentic.

About Me

I’m Zoltán Benyó, a Visual Effects Supervisor with more than two decades of experience in the film industry. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of productions, from independent local films to large-scale international projects. Each project has given me valuable insight into the art of visual storytelling and strengthened my ability to bring creative visions to life. What drives me most in this profession is the collaborative process—working closely with directors, artists, and production teams to shape the look and atmosphere of a film. I take pride in finding the right balance between artistic vision and technical precision, whether it’s through subtle enhancements or complex visual effects sequences. Over the years, I’ve learned that every film is a new challenge and a chance to grow, and I’m grateful to continue contributing to stories that inspire and captivate audiences around the world. Beyond the work itself, I’ve always been passionate about cinema as an art form, and I feel fortunate that my career allows me to combine that passion with creativity every day

Beyond the projects themselves, I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of visual effects, mentoring the next generation of talent, and helping shape the future of the local industry.
