Festival co-chair Neal Schindler spoke with Those Who Remained director Barnabás Tóth about what compelled him to adapt the 2004 novel on which the film is based; how he decided to depict the main characters' trauma as he did; and which filmmakers have most influenced his work, both thematically and aesthetically.
