For the fifth year running, Lyon’s Lumière Festival will honor Hungarian cinema and invite guests of the Hungarian National Film Fund to present two classic Hungarian films from important national filmmakers, Márta Mészáros’ “Ők ketten” and Zoltán Fábri’s “Fifth Seal.”It’s a treat for the Hungarian National Film Fund, coming just one month after hosting their own retrospective film festival, the Budapest Classics Film Marathon.
Fábri’s “Fifth Seal” is the director’s third feature to be honored at Lumière. In previous editions, “Merry-Go-Round” and “Professor Hannibal” have both been acknowledged by president and director of the Institut Lumière, Bertrand Tavernier and Thierry Frémaux.Since 2017, the 62-year-old Hungarian Archive, a FIAF member since 1958, has operated as a division of the Hungarian National Film Fund.
Experimental and underground films from the ‘80s, classics from the ‘30s, silent films and old newsreels have also been restored under the Film Fund’s visage. Other animated features, such as Jankovics’s “Johnny Corncob” and Béla Ternovszky’s “Cat City” were also restored by the Film Fund, along with several historically important animated shorts.
