Goethe Institute,
Westersingel 9, 3014 GM Rotterdam
Sculptor and painter Peter Abraham has already in his childhood surprised people around him with amazing, thought-provoking drawings and toys, which indicated his later commitment to art. The essence of his artistic philosophy is the interaction between the so called grand art, the elite culture on the one hand and the average life and mass culture on the other, as well as the ruining of borders between them and building them up again. His works are experimental, so he shares the intentions of contemporary artists who want to modernize visual language.
The exhibition will be open between 22 June - 8 July 2010

Travel with Evliya Çelebi in Hungary
By Mehmet Tütüncü
Pécs in southern Hungary, is one of the city / with Istanbul and Essen / chosen to be in 2010 European capital of culture.The Hungarian city of Pécs is highlighting its rich multicultural heritage. This is a place where we can still discover traces of the Turkish rule and in this aspect the city is the most oriental city of Hungary.
In Pécs we can find several Mosques still in used. One of the famous one is the Betktasi dervisch Mosque. Has to be mentioned the unique tomb of the Turkish holly man Idris Baba.
mr Mehmet Tütüncü introduces in his lecture some Turkish monuments of Pécs, which give this city a unique Hungarian-Turks character and travels through Hungary starting his journey with the memories of the world traveler Evliya Celebi from the 17th century ….

Director: Mihály Buzás
About the Film
Eastern European films have always had a special place for the personal history, the people's-eye, ground level view of a now discredited past. In this breezy, sarcastic story, set in the 1970s, a group of Hungarian teenagers win the coveted prize of a trip "abroad"--a summer's labor at a GDR youth camp. The supposed national characteristics of the Germans and the Hungarians sometimes come into play, but the real comedy is provided by incomprehension of other kinds; the usual gap between teenagers and adults is everywhere altered by the hypocritical need to pay "lip service" to the building of socialist character. ….

Film :
The Investigator (A Nyomozó)
Dir: Attila Gigor. Hungary / Sweden/Ireland 2007. 110 mins.
This quirky little thriller brings to mind Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series, where the perverted morality of the ending requires the reader to take sides with the villain. Here, a gruff pathologist (Anger) takes on the role of a contract killer only to discover he's the patsy - and now he must try to save his own skin.

Presentation:
Hungarian: Turkish Or Finnish? By dr. L.K. Marácz
The Hungarian language is classified in linguistic course books as a Finno-Ugric language. This suggests that Hungarian is genetically related to Finnish and has nothing to do with Turkish. Hungarian displays however clear affinities with Turkish. Although the Finno-Ugric hypothesis is still awaiting futher prove, this alleged relation between Finnish and Hungarian has dominated the research agenda in Hungary and has even led to the invention of a new 'national identity for Hungarians'. Dr. Marácz belongs to those resesearchers that are not convinced of the correctness of the Finno-Ugric hypothesis. He will demonstrate how due to circumstances external to linguistics like 'Europeanness' Hungarian became Finnish and not Turkish.

Film : Puskás Hungary
“Puskás is apart, I think Pelé is pretty well the only one who is able to carry off his legendary status with the real grace. But Puskás was even greater than Pelé, precisely for the reason you have already alluded to: he was able to reach the peak twice over. Climb the Himalayas a second time. What for? To reach the summit twice over, that is almost incredible.”

Film Club (HFC) presents: Bolshe Vita
1989, an exciting summer. Hungary opened the borders to the West and the new waves of peoples had started. The heroes arrived from all over the world: two ditsy musicians and an engineer from Russia, two girls from England and USA and they all met in a rock café „Bolshe Vita”…
Actors among others Badár Sándor, Helen Baxendale , Igor Csernyevics , Caroline Loncq, Susan, Flores Eduardo Rózsa. Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115726/
Discussion: 1989 the Pan-European Picnic
20 years ago Hungary opened its border to the West. More thousands of people ran to Austria on the organised Pan-European Picnic where they met with their West German family members or left to their own destiny… What happened? Was it a well organised action or was it a spontaneous activity… and what about the rest? Rapid changes in Central Eastern Europe like the regime falls in Hungary, Romania, a country falls apart: Czech and Slovakia? How did an ordinary family see the happenings? And You?

Met een focus op deze thema’s wil Europa laten zien dat veranderingen kunnen worden gezien als kansen.

18:30 Csodálatos Júlia (Being Julia)
Kaizerstraat 25 2311 GN Leiden
Leiden Universiteit Plexus Studiecentrum
Oscar nominated film of Istán Szabó. The film was written
by Ronald Harwood based on the novel of W. Somerset
Maugham.
This movie is a great bit of fun: over the top in all the right
places, and with many laugh out loud moments. It is bright,
emotional, engaging, and witty, just like thetitle character, acted to
perfection by AnnetteBening. It's brilliantlyacted from top to bottom,
with wonderful performances from even relative newcomers,
Lucy Punch and Shaun Evans. I especially loved how the many
layers of the original work are brought across: how real can be
the fantasy world of theatre, and how fantastic the real world may seem in opposition
to it. In theatre, they say timing is everything. That's very
true about the bulk of the situations in this movie. I would definitely
see this movie again.

18:30 Fehér tenyér (White Palm) Hungarian Film
Leiden Universiteit Plexus Studiecentrum
Kaizerstraat 25 2311 GN Leiden
The white palm is a catching movie about an athlete trying to
face his talent, the environment and the faults he commits. You
do not have to be a sport- lover to like this movie, it is about
more: about life. The only way to face your faults is to jump for
the next challenge and try it again. The main figure is a Hungarian
sportsman, who from his childhood trains to become an athlete.
We can see the way how he formed to the personality he
is: the cruel trainings from childhood, the family-background,
and the whole environment, a socialistic world. The story goes
in different time-zones: side by side we can follow the child
Dongó and his challenges, as well as the young man Dongó in
Canada, training the new generation and than trying again his
luck. The beginning of the movie is a bit slow, but it gets faster
and it just catches you already in the middle of the movie and does not let you relax until the end. This is also interesting, as is
based on a true story, the athlete plays himself in the movie. I
really liked it, so I suggest you to watch it.

The film follows a Jewish family living in Hungary through three generations,
rising from humble beginnings to positions of wealth and
power in the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire. The patriarch becomes
a prominent judge but is torn when his government sanctions
anti-Jewish persecutions. His son converts to Christianity
to advance his career as a champion fencer and Olympic hero,
but is caught up in the Holocaust. Finally, the grandson, after
surviving war, revolution, loss and betrayal, realizes that his
ultimate allegiance must be to himself and his heritage.

No Mercy de film is gebaseerd op echte feiten. Elemér Ragályi`s film is een document over de Pusoma verhaal, een niet lang geleden gebeurde moordonderzoek met een tragische einde. Zonder enige feiten was de verdachte ( de hoofdpersoon van de film) jarenlang onschuldig opgesloten in de gevangenis. de soortgelijke situaties kan overal inelk maatschappij voorkomen. No Mercy is niet een fictie drama het is het echte leven.
Als gast hebben we de regisseur uitgenodigd vanuit Hongarije. Na de film is er een mogelijkheid om een gesprek met hem te hebben.
