Péter Forgács, filmmaker
The lives of ordinary Hungarians are exposed and examined in the work of media artist Péter Forgács. Through examples of forgotten home movies from the 1920s and 1930s that he has recast, Forgács discusses his unique approach to media and his development as an artist, while providing a general introduction to the films that follow. (Approximately 50 minutes.) This program is made possible by funds given in memory of Rajiv Vaidya.
