The work of the AVO created a constant climate of fear and terror and by November 1956 this, along with the economic climate that existed in Hungary, spilled over and was one of the main causes of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The headquarters of the AVO was at 60, Andrassy Place in Budapest. This address is now a museum and known as \u201cThe Terror House.\u201d This film, part of a trilogy, was made in 1994 for Hungarian TV. But its supporters believe that viewings and copies have been suppressed for political reasons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8:30 pm Inkub\u00e1tor<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9:30-11:15 am\u00a0No Subtitles Necessary<\/strong> (2008, in English, 96 min.)<\/p>\n Dir.: James Chressanthis<\/p>\n As film students in Hungary and with only film school equipment, they had shot footage of the Russian invasion of Budapest and crackdown of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. They subsequently volunteered to smuggle their footage out of the country. Barely escaping with their lives, they fled to America and settled in Hollywood, eventually saving enough money to buy their own 16mm camera to begin shooting movies. As refugees they struggle in Hollywood, finally breaking into the mainstream with their pivotal contribution to the \u201cAmerican New Wave.\u201d<\/p>\n Both rose to prominence in the late 60’s and 70’s having shot films such as Easy Rider<\/em>, Five Easy Pieces<\/em>, McCabe and Mrs. Miller<\/em>, Deliverance<\/em>, Paper<\/em> Moon<\/em>,<\/strong> and Close Encounters<\/em> of the Third Kind<\/em>. During that time, working with directors including Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich, and Martin Scorsese, they helped define a new American film aesthetic, and pioneered innovative, fearless ways to tell stories.<\/p>\n This is the story of a 50 year journey, an intimate portrait of two giants of modern imagemaking and their deep bond of brotherhood that transcended every imaginable boundary.

<\/a>Two young film producers, Fruzsina Skrabski<\/strong> and Tam\u00e1s Nov\u00e1k<\/strong>, try to answer the question, does a major communist-socialist political leader who helped put down the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, have any regrets for his actions, and would he be willing to apologize to the Hungarian people, who suffered greatly from his actions?<\/p>\n<\/a> during the Habsburg Monarchy, and portrays the life one of the greatest Hungarian aristocrats – Count Sz\u00e9chenyi. Fidesz and Viktor Orb\u00e1n, the party’s leader and prime minister had supported the making of the film financially and ideologically.<\/p>\n<\/a>Inkub\u00e1tor<\/em> tells the story of an unlikely reunion \u2013 one which involves a Hungarian rock opera performed in the Sierra Nevada mountains by a cast of 40-something Hungarian-Americans. They meet in the same exact spot they performed Stephen, the king<\/em> 25 years ago, during a summer camp in 1984. That summer the Soviets still had tanks stationed in Hungary, and the country was isolated behind the Iron Curtain. Many of these scouts had never been to Hungary, where their parents were born. The reunion of this original cast, now living all over the world including Budapest, makes for an emotional and humorous portrait of one of many \u201cincubators\u201d operating in the U.S. over the years. They\u2019re meeting not only to reminisce, but also to figure out just who they\u2019ve become, twenty years after the \u201cMotherland\u201d was liberated.<\/p>\nSaturday, November 27<\/h4>\n
