A pitiless story of a war between man and dog,\u00a0Kornel Mundruczo's\u00a0Cannes award-winning\u00a0White God (Feher Isten)\u00a0is Hungary's official entry for best foreign film in the this year's Academy Awards. The film, which wowed jurors and critics on the Croisette in May when it\u00a0won sidebar section Un Certain Regard, is, Hungary's international film promotion body FilmUnio says, \"a cautionary tale between a superior species and its disgraced inferior. Outcast and betrayed \u2026 man\u2019s 'best friend' rebels against its former master.\"  The film's\u00a0simple but profound idea sets the stage for a gripping story.  When a new law puts a costly tax on mongrels, owners of mixed breed mutts dump their pets on the streets. A pretty, 13-year-old girl, Lili, desperately fights to protect her beloved pet, Hagen, but eventually her father sets the dog free on the streets. Lili's desperate search for Hagen ends in failure as the dog, unused to life on the streets, struggles to survive. Eventually Hagen understands that not everyone loves him like Lili does and he joins a pack of strays. Abandoned, unloved and discarded, the mongrel dogs seek merciless revenge on the masters they had trusted with their lives. And Lili is probably the only one of her race who can stop the war between man and dog.  The film, which had its theatrical release in Hungary in June and is being represented for world sales by The Match Factory, was selected on Wednesday for the Academy Awards by Hungary's Oscar selection committee, consisting of screenwriter\u00a0Reka Divinyi,\u00a0director\u00a0Krisztina Deak, film fund headAgnes Havas,\u00a0academic\u00a0Andras Balint Kovacs, editor\u00a0Istvan Kiraly, screenwriter\u00a0Balazs Lovas, cinematographer\u00a0Tibor Mate, producer\u00a0Peter Miskolczi\u00a0and government film commissioner and U.S. producer\u00a0Andrew G.
