Documentary film screenings:
The Hungarian documentary films screened at the festival, in line with the theme of the programme, will cover a wide range of genres from folk music to 20th century history. What they have in common is that they are about Hungarians. About common memory, cultural traditions and values, about society and people’s place in it. The screenings will be shown in cultural spaces and cafés all over the city on the 20th and the 21st of July.
More details about the film screenings are coming soon.
