What is Tom Hanks looking for in the eighth district? Why does the street scene in the background of one of the most popular James Bond action films look so familiar? How can it be that you are walking through the streets of Budapest and are suddenly surrounded by Cyrillic letters or Angelina Jolie comes towards you – and you have the feeling of being in another time and another country? In recent decades, Budapest and Hungary have become one of the most popular locations for international film productions. World-famous films such as Evita, Red Heat, Die Hard and Dune were shot here. But which other films were made in Budapest without us ever knowing it?
In her lecture, Dr. Anna Irimiás, lecturer at Corvinus University, provides exciting insights into the multifaceted film career of the Hungarian capital and uses short film clips to show why Budapest and Hungary are so attractive not only for tourists but also for filmmakers.
