Famous Hungarians
Inspired by the artis't own immigration experience, the series explores the journeys of artists or their families who sought new horizons during World War II or the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, or later. Among the inspiring figures were French artists, Italian-American actors, Canadian musicians, and German designers, all connected by their Hungarian roots. The project delves deep into the complexities of identity, questioning the extent to which Hungarian heritage influenced the lives of these heroes who embraced immigration or witnessed their relatives' emigration.

In a serendipitous twist, the maestro even named one of his melodies 'Famous Hungarians' and later allowed its use in my short films dedicated to famous Hungarians.
