This film program forges a rare intergenerational dialogue between two artist-filmmakers who work with the essay form as a means to subvert and reimagine the archive, its relationship to history and memory.

András Szirtes was born in Budapest, and has been making experimental films since the 1970s’. He is known for pioneering the diary form, integrating radical performance intervention and collage techniques, into an unclassifiable mode of an essay film form.
