Szentendre And Its Painters

Festők városa

Director Márta Mészáros working with cinematographers Tamás Somló and István Zöldi made several documentary-like artist portraits. These films cover not only artistic methods and resulting masterpieces, but emphasis is also placed on the surrounding landscape and built environment. Szentendre, one of Hungary’s most attractive towns, is a magnet for all that is beautiful, providing local artists with endless subject matter. The director’s picture provides a backscenes glimpse into the studios of László Balogh, Jenő Barcsay, Endre Bálint, Béla Czóbel, Pál Deim, Dezső Korniss, Piroska Szántó and Lajos Vajda. Zoltán Latinovits narrates.
