Hungarians in Hollywood
The 8th Los Angeles Hungarian Film Festival is to be held between 15 and 23 October. It has four sections, and I’ve linked to Kinoblog reviews where they exist.
New Hungarian Films: 9 and 1/2 Date, Adventurers, Bahrtalo - Good Luck, Delta, Dolina, Eszter’s Inheritance, The Eighth Day of the Week, Girls, Iska’s Journey, Nosedive, Opium - Diary of a Madwoman, Out of Order, Tranquillity, Virtually a Virgin, Without Mercy
Spotlight on Miklós Jancsó: The Red and the White, Red Psalm, The Round-Up, Silence and Cry
The other two sections cover recent Hungarian documentary, and Hungarians in Hollywood - the latter including director Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and Laszlo Kovacs (Easy Rider) and composer Miklós Rosza (Spellbound).
And for a tangentially related overview of what Hungarians contributed to British cinema, here’s my Screenonline piece Magyars in Mayfair.
