Eidolon Club’s freshly launched monthly event series explore everyday imaging’s diverse legacy.

Our goal is to offer fresh perspectives and networking opportunities centred around the appreciation of vernacular imagery. Eidolon Club’s monthly event series invites our Budapest-based community to delve into new dimensions and challenge traditional perceptions of visual culture. Through curated programs, film screenings, workshops, talk events, and guided tours hosted at various venues, Eidolon Club provides a platform for enthusiasts, professionals, students, and curious individuals to come together and celebrate the most ubiquitous, ever-present, wide-ranging form of visual communication of the last two centuries.

At the third event, we will watch the documentary titled 'An Impossible Project', an entertaining film directed by Jens Meurer about the renaissance of analogue in our digital lives.

In the film – called “a persuasive case for life beyond the digital realm” by The Guardian – we follow an eccentric scientist, “Doc” Florian Kaps as he embarks on a feisty mission to save the world's last Polaroid factory. An inspiring underdog story of a 21st century Don Quixote, a social visionary untroubled by such details as earning a living or indeed running a functioning business. And a sumptuous invitation to fall in love with real things again. Fully shot on 35mm. 

Let’s meet in person!
