Eidolon Club vol. 4 - Zolnay Pál: Fotográfia - film screening
This year, we launched a monthly event series where we discuss, present, and showcase various aspects of everyday photography. On October 24, at 6:30 PM, we will screen Pál Zolnay’s documentary drama Photography at the Cirko-Gejzír cinema in Budapest, accompanied by a video essay created by us.
Schedule
At the fourth event of the Eidolon Club, we will watch together one of the more genre-blurring and innovative films of Hungarian cinema, which raises questions that are even more urgent today than they were at the time of its release. Zolnay’s 1973 film – to put it very briefly – deals with the relationship between the images we create and the reality surrounding us, set in the context of Hungarian society burdened by class differences, generational traumas, and political oppression.
