"Are You There?" – Our short film is out!
We are proud and excited to present our latest short film, which focuses on the online safety of young people. The film’s initial release is in Hungarian, with the Slovak version coming soon.
The short film premiered on May 19 and aims to raise awareness among parents, teachers, youth workers, and other adults about the dangers young people may face in the online world.
The movie "Are You There?" was created in collaboration with film director Csaba Molnár, and it was a great honor to work with him again. A fantastic crew supported the production — we thank everyone for their passionate and committed involvement!
One of the film’s key messages is that the strongest protection for young people is the emotional safety provided by a supportive family background. As the film’s central line states:
“The most important prevention is having a strong connection with our children.”
The short film is available in both Hungarian and Slovak, and we hope it will open new opportunities for more conscious conversations not only in schools and communities but also among parents — for example, around screen time or how to address difficult topics at home.
Over the past year, TANDEM has launched several programs promoting internet safety, including the Virtual Intimacy Zone mini-festival, where high school students explored the dangers and opportunities of the online world through interactive and immersive experiences. In addition, our trainers regularly hold talks and workshops for parents, educators, and local communities.
The short film stars Dominik Moore, with his mother portrayed by actress Vica Kerekes, who shared the following about the project:
“Human relationships are deeply important in our world. I’m grateful that TANDEM puts so much energy, heart, soul, and even financial support into showing that we need to care about each other — and that what happens to others truly matters.”
We are sincerely thankful to everyone who contributed to making this film possible!
