Media Authority In Hungary Decides On Funding Documentaries & Science Films
Hungary’s media authority (NMHH) has decided to provide funding for the making of 16 documentaries and nine popular science films from this year’s budget. Among the documentaries, Csaba Bartal’s piece analyses the political aspects of the exile of Hungary’s post-WWII communist leader Mátyás Rákosi and the last 15 years he spent in the Soviet Union.

Multiple award winning director Márta Mészáros’ title is a portrait of her family, and, in particular, her mother’s dedicated search for her sculptor husband, a victim of the Stalinist terror. István Jelenczki’s popular science film portrays archaeologist professor Gyula László (1910-1998), known of his hypothesis of double conquest: that the Hungarian people arrived in the Carpathian Basin in two waves; the first one around 670 AD and the other one being the wellknown conquest of 895 led by Árpád.
