In the first thirty years of cinema history, when films were still running in cinemas without sound, hundreds of feature films were made in European countries, including Hungary, but only a small number of these have survived in their entirety or in fragmentary form, as neither the rapid spread of sound films nor the lack of archives favoured the survival of the genre. Since then, the surviving silent films have been sought, collected and restored in a number of institutions, which is not only an essential part of film history research, but also means a source of inspiration for contemporary artists. During September, BMC joins the Budapest Classic Film Marathon of the National Film Institute, where audiences can witness the dialogue between silent films and live music.
The Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé Foundation looks after the legacy of the legendary Pathé film studio. Selected short films from the Foundation's collection will be interwoven with contemporary music as a limitless means of expression. The enchanting voice of the most popular Hungarian jazz singer at home and abroad, Veronika Harcsa, who is equally well versed in contemporary classical music, and the equally virtuosic and profound playing of Kornél Fekete-Kovács, László Gőz and Miklós Lukács transport the listener into a previously unknown world, while the drama of women's takeover unfolds from the dialogue between image and music.
“This is our musical offering for a utopian, inclusive society, using a new, free, imaginary language unlimited by origin or cultural boundaries: Anthem for No Man’s Land. Our album title is inspired by our efforts to make art that can see beyond territorial thinking, beyond borders and beyond egoism.
