Petőfi-mirages #2: Sándor Petőfi on Film

PETŐFI-MIRAGES. Program series at the Blinken OSA Archivum, March 29, 2023.

Sándor Petőfi on Film. Film screening and discussion.

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
• Bernadett Sulyok, museologist

Moderated by: András Mink

The podcast is only available in Hungarian.
