Lost Hungarian Films 4K – English narration (2023)

In 1957, when the Hungarian film archive was founded, 56 years had passed since the premiere of the first Hungarian film, The dance (A táncz). Over half a century of work had to be collected retrospectively. During this time, many films were lost, ruined or deliberately destroyed.
Entire eras and genres disappeared without a trace. More than one third of the works made during the 120 years of Hungarian film history are considered lost. But how did all this happen?
