  ILUZE
ILLUSION

Kateřina Turečková

CZ, 2018, 52 min 

Language version: Original with English subtitle

 

Kateřina Turečková's original documentary, conceived like a computer game, is a personal reportage about the director's one-year study visit in Budapest. The viewers are put in the position of players and go through this game on several levels, which lead them into everyday situations in contemporary Hungarian society: Sometimes they see the capital from a tourist perspective, but most of the time they are encouraged to take the subjective point of view of Hungarian citizens and reflect on issues such as freedom of art, right to education, medical care and the questionable political situation, in which the name of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán appears again and again.

The film will be accompanied by a conversation in English with director Kateřina Turečková, moderated by Ivana Formanová (IDF).
