BBFF2026 Meet the Filmmaker: Endre Kvia

When a terminal cancer diagnosis forced filmmaker Endre Kvia into a confrontation with fear, mortality and the parts of himself he had kept hidden, the result was Crack Me Open. Making its World Premiere at BBFF2026, the documentary turns Endre’s own experience into a wider investigation of fear: how it shapes us and what can happen when we stop running from it.

Endre opened up to us about vulnerability, filmmaking, and why this is only the beginning of his exploration of fear.
