Secret Years: Screening and discussion of the 15-year-old film
March 8, 2024, 17:00-19:30
Fifteen years ago, in November 2009, about 300 of us sat in the two large halls of the Művész cinema for the premiere of the first lesbian documentary film about lesbians, made largely by lesbians. We didn't know much about the experiences of women older than us who had lived their youth under the socialist system, so we interviewed them, looking for archival material and personal photos. This resulted in the documentray Secret Years, which became one of the audiovisual cornerstones of the post-change of regime LGBTQ movement, as well as a fascinating documentary for a wider audience.
Secret Years has been screened at international festivals, won the Audience Award at the 11th Verzio International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival and the ERSTE Social Award. The film has been translated into 12 languages and released on DVD.
A discussion with director Mária Takács, some of the film's cast and creators after the film.
The program is part of the 12th LGBT History Month.
