Free Fall

Main character of AZ ÖRVÉNY is cameraman György Petö His private films shot before and during World War II document his family and particularly his girlfriend and later wife Eva Lengyel With hindsight these films mainly recorded in the southern Hungarian city of Szeged make up an extremely wry historical document Petö was a Jew Slowly but gradually we notice how the antiJewish laws and political revolutions in Hungary take the family in a stranglehold AZ ÖRVÉNY is a rhapsody of found footage Skillfully edited and complemented with additional footage it produces an account of an atrocious era and a plea for human dignity
