THEME: GHOSTS OF EUROPE

EU 02 The Hungarian Female Eye

These days, sadly it is hard to imagine the European headlines without bad news from Hungary, thanks to Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his anti-democratic machinations. For two years now, he has been ruling the country by decree, without the approval of parliament, in what is the political manifestation of patriarchal ideology. The Budapest-based short film festival Friss Hús is seeking to counter this development with a program exclusively consisting of work by female filmmakers, featuring powerful films, loud voices and quiet protest. A declaration of love for a country and war against its politicians.

Curated by Friss Hús Budapest International Short Film Festival.
