Quality giraffe eating, with scientists, philosophers, zoo experts and László Szily instead of commentators.

Schedule
In Copenhagen Zoo in 2014, a young, healthy giraffe bull, Marius, was killed, dissected in front of a crowd of children, and then fed to the lions. Such trolling may never have happened in history. It has accordingly become as big a scandal as you might imagine. But why would anyone do such a thing? And why did the zoo say they would do it again any time, despite the scandal?
At the Yeti Cinema event at the end of August, you can first watch Péter Becz's super cool film about Marius' story, followed by a panel discussion on the highly divisive topic that will have you eating a pair of elephant sausages!
Date: 31 August (Saturday)
Venue: Bem Cinema (Budapest, Margit körút 5, 1027)
Programme:
18:00 - 18:30: screening of Missing you, Marius
18:30 - 19:30: round table discussion
Invited guests:
Péter Becz, director of the film
Zoltán Hanga, spokesman of the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden
András Lányi, writer, philosopher, film director
Katalin Rodics, research biologist, conservation expert for Greenpeace
Moderator: László Szily, journalist of 444
Location
Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
