Sándor Petőfi on Film
Film Screening and Discussion
Nemzeti Filmintézet / National Film Institute, Budapest
As the second event of the “Petőfi Mirages” series, András Mink discusses the cinematic representation of Petőfi with film historian Gábor Gelencsér and museologist Bernadett Sulyok.
How was Petőfi seen on film at the dawn of the Horthy era, at the height of the Rákosi era, and in the desolate Kádár era? Excerpts will be shown from the films The Sea Has Risen (1953) and András Lányi’s Segesvár (1974), but there will also be a discussion of the 1922 biographical film Petőfi, of which no copies have survived.
Participants: Gábor Gelencsér, film historian, and Bernadett Sulyok, museologist
Moderated by: András Mink
The event is in Hungarian.
The event is open to the public and participation is free, but registration is required. Further information: https://osaarchivum.org.
