The first film on show was Oscar-laureate Istvan Szabo's Sweet Emma, Dear Bobe, a story of two young women teachers, on Friday evening.
James Chressanthis's documentary Subtitles Necessary: Laszlo and Vilmos was screened on Saturday. The film is about two of Hungary's most prominent expatriates working in film: cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond, who emigrated following the 1956 Soviet invasion.
Further films on show will include Ibolya Fekete's Bolshe Vita, Zsolt Kezdi-Kovacs's After All, Peter Vajda's Voila la Liberte, Gabor Zsigmond Papp's The Life of an Agent and Peter Szalay's Borderline Case.
The Film Days, closing the Hungarian consulate-general's nine-month series of commemorations of Hungary's democratic transition, are sponsored by Film Archives of the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Hungarian Film Union.
