A Hungarian Film Festival will be held from today till September 15 at the South Indian Film Chamber Theatre, 606, Anna Salai. The festival is being organised by the Indo Cine Appreciation Foundation in association with the Hungarian Information and Cultural Centre and Federation of Film Societies of India.
"Little Vilma: The Last Diary" will be screened today at 6.15 p.m. This is the last in director Marta Meszaros's semi-autobiographical "diary series", which she started in 1982 with "Diary For My Children". Vilma's idealist father is swept away by Soviet propaganda and young Vilma is sent to Kirgizstan along with her family. However, once there, they find oppression and political murder. One by one, her family members are killed and she is sent to a Young Soviet School. She is later allowed to return to her native Hungary.
At 8 p.m., today, "Diary For My Children" will be screened. The film depicts the political and social life of post-war Hungary.
On September 14 (6.30 p.m.), watch the film "Diary For My Father And Mother", which is about a young student, who is orphaned, as she grows into adulthood in the shadow of the 1956 Hungarian uprising.
"Diary For My Loved Ones" will be shown on September 15 (6.30 p.m.). The film is about a young girl Juli, who has a difficult relationship with her foster mother and tries to find a way to expand her horizon. She also wants to see her father, who she believes is in a prison. Luckily she gets a scholarship to study film in Moscow. Finally, when she is about to receive her degree in Moscow, she learns of an uprising at home and wants to return. But the borders have been sealed!
