October 24, 2024, 6:30 PM, Cirko-Gejzír Cinema, Budapest
This year, we launched a monthly event series where we discuss, present, and showcase various aspects of everyday photography. On October 24, at 6:30 PM, we will screen Pál Zolnay’s docu-fiction Photography (Fotográfia) at the Cirko-Gejzír cinema in Budapest, accompanied by a video essay created by us.
At the fourth event of the Eidolon Club, we will watch together one of the more genre-blurring and innovative films of Hungarian cinema, which raises questions that are even more urgent today than they were at the time of its release. Zolnay’s 1973 film – to put it very briefly – deals with the relationship between the images we create and the reality surrounding us, set in the context of Hungarian society burdened by class differences, generational traumas, and political oppression.
The film will be screened in the original Hungarian language with English subtitles.
