Birth of Hungarian Film – The Dance (1901)

0.0 12 mins Documentary   2021
Director(s): Barnabás Weisz Enikö Löwensohn

The first directed Hungarian film footage shot with actors debuted in Uránia Hungarian Theatre of Science on 30 April 1901. These short motion pictures were not stand-alone works but illustrations for a lecture on the history of dance. However, all footage featuring the most popular actors of the period has been lost but stills taken during filming have survived – this creative animation short film uses these to present the unknown story of the birth of Hungarian film.
