This year, the CineFest city and film history program – named after the first cinema of Miskolc – commemorates the 120th anniversary of the birth of Oscarwinning filmmaker Emeric Pressburger. The event includes screenings, a mini conference, a roundtable discussion and an exhibition on Pressburger’s life.

THEY WERE ALSO FROM MISKOLC

Time travel in Miskolc during Pressburger’s time Miskolc is not only the birthplace of Oscar-winning Emeric Pressburger: at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Miskolc was an exceptionally exciting city, home to many artists and intellectuals. They will be the subject of the discussion organized by Tükörkép Association and CineFest. The participants of the roundtable discussion are Vilmos Fedor, László Szunyogh, László Kolozsi, and Zoltán Reiman.

At Sub Rosa Café, the exhibition linked to the program displays the life of Emeric Pressburger. The exhibition is free to visit every day from 11:00 to 18:00 during CineFest.
