A Life in Hungary
A film about resilience in an era of severe system changes
“Often I am very very critical, but in the Hungarian scoring system I would give this documentary a five with a star” (NB for the Dutch: a 10+)
– Hungarian philosopher
Status of the documentary
In February 2014 the documentary was presented to the family of granny and the granddaughter (a private premiere). In August 2015 was a private try out for friends and relations in the Nertherlands. In November 2015 there was a premiere in Budapest for Hungarian friends and relatives. I am planning the first public presentation on November 1 2019.
With a little help from my friends
This documentary couldn’t be made without the committed help of my Hungarian friends. An Hungarian experience. And I will not forget the professional assistance and personal support I got from Paul van de Wildenberg, my friend and professional documentary maker.
Köszönöm!
