CYCLE: MÁRTA MÉSZÁROS

In the months of April & May ‘Filmoteca Canaria’ dedicates a cycle to the Hungarian film-maker Márta Mészáros (Budapest, 1931), whose films have recently been restored by the Hungarian National Film Institute so that the current viewer can enjoy in all its splendour the characters that feature in the work of this director who in her day was rated by the prestigious magazine Film Comment as “an arsenal of film resources”.
