Hungarian Rhapsody - The Stunning Cinema of HungaryPost an Event »
Oddball Films presents Hungarian Rhapsody - The Stunning Cinema of Hungary, a program of breathtaking short films and animation from the 1960s-1980s. Oscar winner Istvan Szabo's You... (1963) is a new wave love letter to a beautiful girl and the city of Budapest. Animator Marcell Jankovics brings us two thought-provoking and stunning pieces Trends (1967) and Sisyphus (1974). The hauntingly beautiful poetic short Elegy (1968) captures the often stark realities of Hungarian life. The kooky Academy Award winner The Fly (1980) gives us an inside glimpse into the life and death of one fly. The World Health Organization brings us Little Man-Big City (1968), a charming cartoon from Budapest with some interesting ideas on fixing society's ills. In The Blackbird (1979), a mischievous blackbird escapes from his cage and wreaks havoc. Plus! A three-pack of cartoons in the Satiric Eye and a special kitty treat for the early birds, it's time to open your eyes to Hungarian artistry.
