Last Thursday (17th February) my little Hungarian short, A Cafe in the Sky, was screened at the delightfully independent Kino Cinema.
It wasn't a big crowd, but those who attended seemed to enjoy the screening. The final cut of the film works well I think, not outstaying its welcome by a second. I also gave a bit of a talk about some of my other film and TV projects, all inspired by this part of the world. My sincere thanks go to the management and team of Kino Cafe and Cinema who really went out of their way to make it an enjoyable occasion. Afterwards we relaxed in the cafe, a hip but cosy sort of place where you can enjoy a bracing coffee and a nourishing sandwich before or after a movie, and even take advantage of free wifi.

A Cafe in the Sky - Scott
Screening at KINO cinema - by Christian
Budapest has a lot of nice and cosy Retro Style Art cinemas and one of those is KINO at the Körút. And the even better news is, that this cinema has also a nice coffeeshop, which even without watching a movie is worth to visit. They have tasty cakes, an excellent white chocolate and great beers: Krombacher from Germany and San Miguel from Spain!
I should have had at least one beer before the private screening of a documentary by my Ambassador colleague Scott, who produced a documentary about the writer of the so called suicide song "Gloomy Sunday". We are all still alive!
It was a great experience to watch this very interesting documentary about the life and song of Rezső Seress, who being so loyal and dedicated to Hungary, never went to USA to collect his royalities from his famous song! In 1968 he committed suiced.
Private screening in a wonderful Budapest Retro cinema, another small aspect of our Budapest way of life!
Thanks Scott!

A Cafe in the Sky - Free screening
A Cafe in the Sky - Free screening
To end the Budapest Tourism Ambassador program, at least for now, join us for a special screening of A Cafe in the Sky short film in English language. This is the film shot by our New Zealand Ambassador, Scott. Made on a shoestring budget but with a lot of passion, the 20 minute film nonetheless looks and sounds gorgeous, with the music of Gloomy Sunday and appearances by everyone from Zita Görög to the Rabbi of Budapest. The film has screened previously on the NZ Arts Channel and at the Academy Cinema of Auckland.
February 17, 2pm at Kino Cinema
Address: 1137 Budapest, Szent István krt 16.
(Tram 4-6, Jászai Mari tér stop)
Join us there!
After the short film Scott will present his current projects related to Budapest and afterwards you can have a chat and drink with the Ambassadors of Budapest Tourism at the Café of KINO.
