Exhibition on 120 Years of Hungarian Cinema opens in Budapest

An exhibition celebrating the 120th anniversary of Hungarian cinema and showing relics of various eras has opened in Budapest's Ludwig Museum. "The exhibition presents a wonderful golden age with wonderful films, Hungarian artists and those born in Hungary who make an international career; it showcases the Hungarian cinema universe," Csaba Kael, the government commissioner for developing Hungary's motion picture industry, told the opening event. The show Wide Angle guides the visitor through the past 120 years of Hungarian cinema starting from April 1901, when The Dance, the first Hungarian film was screened at the Urania Scientific Theatre in Budapest.
