Hungarian
Saxophonist wins Scholarship to the UK
A
classical saxophone player has won the first scholarship to be awarded
by the Liszt Academy Network.
Erzsebet
Seleljo, from Bonyhad, says she has been committed to the saxophone ever
since her father introduced her to the instrument when she was 14 years
old. Since then she has never looked back. After studying at the Leo
Weiner High School of Music in Budapest she went to London’s Royal
College of Music to study the saxophone for her undergraduate degree.
She then embarked on a Master’s course at the Royal College. The
scholarship from the Liszt Academy Network will enable her to finish
this course.

CINEFEST IS FIVE YEARS
OLD!!!! 
Dear filmmakers, CineFest
friends and spectators!
Five years ago some good friends,
very fond of films and the city of Miskolc as well, had an idea to give an
opportunity of presentation and competition for such young filmmakers, who
are just starting their carreers, but at the same time they are promising
talents of the future. Thus was born the conception of CineFest –
International Festival of Young Filmmakers.
The people of Miskolc are always
welcoming festivals, so CineFest became very quickly popular. In the
beginning the programs were screened at the two rooms of Kossuth cinema, and
from 2007 screenings were held at the Miskolc House of Arts as well, and
some connecting programs were located at other places. The same will be done
in 2008!
The categories are the
same as well, films coming for every part of the world are competing at the
Long Feature Film, Short Fiction Film, Experimental Film, Animation Film and
Documentary Film category, as well as in a special category, and the best
ones will be chosen by the international, the critics and the students
juries. This year the special category is dealing with the social role of
women, entitled „WOMEN IN PICTURE”. The festival prizes will be in 2008
mainly money awards and special prizes, at the value of 8,000 Euro all
together.

 ....So
has culture played an important part in healing the wounds of the Communist
era? 'Yes, definitely. And it's also very interesting to look back and see
what Communism gave to us - the creative ways that people found of
expressing their opinions despite it, in theatre, in literature, in film.'
This is to be the subject of a conference on censorship being held in April
at University College London and the Barbican: organised by the Hungarian
Cultural Centre and its Polish and Czech equivalents, its highlight will be
a discussion by the film directors Andrzej Wajda, Jirzi Menzel and Istvan
Szabo at the Barbican on the 25th....

'This is Hungary - we
don't have stars'
Hungarian hip-hop has been
going strong since 1984, and its musicians are keen to be recognised
globally. The problem: they're just not Hungarian enough. Angus Batey

[by Ken Hunt, London]
Hungary is one of Europe’s most productive hothouses for truly
revelatory female singers. Once upon a time in Western Europe Márta
Sebestyén was all we knew of Hungarian singers. She was our Hungarian
sun and moon, earth and horizon. Mind you, starting at the top was not
necessarily a bad thing. But it was only getting the chance to see her
fly vocally in concert that it truly hit home how world-class a singer
she was. In my experience, it is in the live situation that Hungarian
music truly reveals its depth and its heights. That applies to most
music with a living, beating heart. Despite the generational gap and the
apparent differences in their music and approaches, Sebestyén Márta
and Szalóki Ági are names fit to speak in the same breath.
