MEGHÍVO FILMVETÍTÉSRE / FILM SCREENING
2010 Május 15 – 30 / May 15 - 30
Az Amerikai Magyar Koalíció támogatásával kéthetes amerikai túrára indul az Inkubátor című dokumentumfilm, amelyet nem rég mutattak be a 41. Magyar Filmszemlén Budapesten, és amely nem sokára mozikba kerül Magyarországon.
Incubator, a documentary about growing up Hungarian in the United States, is going on a two-week screening tour in the U.S., sponsored by the Hungarian American Coalition, from May 15 – 31. The film premiered in Budapest at the National Filmweek and will be running in theaters from June 3rd.
A film rendezője, Pigniczky Réka az Egyesült Államokban nőtt fel, az '56-os forradalom és szabadságharc után menekült magyar emigránsok gyermekeként. Társaival együtt egy "inkubátorban", a magyar nyelvet és hagyományokat őrző burokban nevelkedett. 1984- ben cserkésztársaival Kaliforniában előadták az István, a királyt, majd huszonöt évvel később újra összejött a régi csapat, hogy megismételjék az előadást. Az Inkubátor erről a találkozóról szól, de közben Réka sajátos, amerikai-magyar gyerekkoráról is mesél - dokumentumfilmtől szokatlanul szórakoztató és megkapó formában, sok régi 8mm filmfelvétellel.
The director of the film, Réka Pigniczky, was born and raised in the U.S. by Hungarian parents who fled Hungary during the 1956 revolution and freedom fight. Her film tells the story of an unlikely, albeit dramatic reunion – 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 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 hilarious portrait of one of many ‘incubators’ operating in the U.S. over the years. They’re meeting not only to reminisce, but also to figure out just who they’ve become, twenty years after the
‘Motherland’ was liberated. |
