(305264) Tarrbela Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 21 December 2007 by K. Sarneczky at Piszkesteto.
Béla Tarr (1955–2026) was a Hungarian film director, screenwriter and producer. His films are distinguished by languid pacing, stark black-and-white visuals, extended long takes, and an absence of traditional plotting. Tarr became known as a founding figure of the slow cinema genre, most notably with his influential 1994 film Sátántangó.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 6, #3, 11), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
