About the eventOur new initiative, the Made in Hungary Film Festival, is a celebration of Hungarian film culture and a promotional event series for the Hungarian film industry. The mission of the brand new festival is to introduce the diversity and richness of contemporary Hungarian cinema to the Los Angeles audience. Moviegoers will have the opportunity to discover the freshest films across various genres and themes that have attracted significant audiences in theatres and online, as well as those that have received critical acclaim.Made in Hungary is not just about films; it is about building bridges between cultures, sharing stories that touch our hearts, and experiencing the unique perspectives that Hungarian cinema and film industry have to offer. The film festival is organized by the National Film Institute of Hungary, in collaboration with the Liszt Institute New York. About the movieHungary’s first film that inventively combines animation with documentary. In the 1990s Hungary, travelling is finally possible but unaffordable. By forging international train tickets, three young men provide the opportunity for a whole generation to experience the outside world. With the fall of the Iron Curtain, Hungary’s borders suddenly open up. Everyone wants to travel to Western Europe – young people in particular – but the price of a train ticket is prohibitive. What good is freedom if you can’t afford it? Ákos, Petya and Laci discover a simple method of using household detergents to dissolve Pelikan Blue’s carbon ink, allowing them to forge train tickets to any destination. Over time, they become professional and infamous forgery artists. For a long time, everything goes along smoothly, but when the police starts an investigation, the friends discover that freedom comes at a price.
