Joy of Light

A fény öröme, Gems of the Hungarian animation, 1965 (12’); Screening: 09.08, 11.30, Toldi Cinema, Nagyterem

In the 1950s Kovásznai worked at the nationalised Hungarian mines and observed, wrote about and made drawings of the life there. While the screenplay constructs a symbolic picture of the depths of the mines, this painting film also applies documentary-like methods in using authentic on-location sound recordings.

Directed by: György Kovásznai
Format: colour, 4:3, HD digitally remastered
