The Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, in collaboration with the Hungarian Cultural Association and the Russian and East European Institute, is proud to present a Hungarian Film Series for the Spring. We will show one Hungarian film every Thursday evening beginning this week at 7pm in Lindley Hall.
Thursday, March 31st: The Little Valentino—Follow a day in the life of Laszlo, a 20-year-old driver’s assistant who spends his day riding cabs, flirting with ladies, and gambling on pinball games – using the money he’s just stolen.
Thursday, April 7th: Freedom’s Fury—This documentary tells the story of the star of the 1956 Hungarian Olympic waterpolo team, Ervin Zador, who finds himself embroiled in one of the most politicized sports events in history – a match with the Soviet Union that would later be dubbed the “Blood in the Water” match.
Thursday, April 14th: The Prefab People—Renowned Hungarian director Bela Tarr holds a magnifying glass to the marriage of a young working-class couple. The film focuses in on their nuanced relationship and the sparseness of their existence in the wake of an explosive argument.
Thursday, April 21st: Delta—After making a fortune in the city, a young man returns to his isolated village in the Danube delta. His return fractures his family, and he decides to build a house out in the marshes with his half-sister, drawing the disapproval of his family and community. Viewer discretion advised for mature themes.
