Event Description: The Workman’s Overall, Hungarian silent movie accompanied by live piano music 

Hungarian silent film is quite rare: in total, there are only a handful of films from Hungary’s silent film era, roughly 1900-1930, that have survived intact to the present day. The majority of the films that have been preserved are missing portions, or are damaged, and often the only content left of the films are photos or articles written about them.

That is the reason why the discovery of A Munkászubbony (The Workman’s Overall), first shown on January 12th, 1915 by Dutch researchers at the Amsterdam-based EYE Film Institute in 2017 was a sensational addition to the world of Hungarian film history. Lost for decades, The Work Jacket is one of the longest and oldest Hungarian silent films of the era.

The film, directed by István Bródy, stars Gyula Hegedűs, one of the most important actors of his day in Hungary. 

The film was restored and digitalized by the Hungarian National Film Archives.

Collaboration: Liszt Institute - Hungarian Cultural Centre Delhi.
