Péter Forgács Retrospective

03.06.2013 19:00
At Arta Cinema, beginning with 14.30, as part of the Péter Forgács Retrospective, two films will be screened: El perro negro: stories from the Spanish Civil War (2005) and Free Fall (1996).

El perro negro: stories from the Spanish Civil War

El perro negro explores personal dramas, illusions, desperation, and the unseen side of an insane Spanish Civil War. The sufferings of civilians, the schism of the divided country, the revolutionary illusions, murders and the systematic massacres of Franco's brutality changed once and for ever the universe of Unamuno, Lorca and Buñuel.

Free Fall

Based on the home movies of the talented musician, photographer and businessman György Pető, Free Fall explores the times before the Holocaust, the darkest chapter of the 20th century Hungary. We follow their story, to discover what's behind the Petős' happiness, how they try to ignore the threatening evidences of forthcoming massacres.

On Wednesday, June 5th, 16:00, at Casa Tranzit, the audience will assist to the opening of the exhibition The Danube Exodus: The Rippling Currents of the River .

Wednesday, at the same cinema, beginning with 22.00, two other films from the Péter Forgács Retrospective will be screened:  Miss Universe 1929 - Lisl Goldarbeiter. A queen in Wien (2006) and Angelos' Film (1999).
