AZ ÉN XX. SZÁZADOM
(My Twentieth Century)
Hungarian drama film, 1989, 99 min. (in Hungarian)
directed by Ildikó Enyedi

Separated identical twins ride an Orient Express unaware of each other: a feminist anarchist and a hedonistic courtesan, living under the powder-keg Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Separate families adopted the impoverished orphans. At the dawn of the 20th Century the double-blind experiment hits crescendo for Dora & Lili, born the evening Edison unveiled his incandescent bulb. In 1900, technology was accelerating, could women's rights and national self-determination keep pace?

The screening will be introduced by film- and music critic László Kolozsi. (in Hungarian)

Guest: László Vidovszky, composer
