Meszaros's title "Last Report on Anna" was shown in the festival's competition category. It is dedicated to one-time Hungarian social-democratic politician Anna Kethly (1889-1976).
Meszaros had already won two awards in Chicago: the main prize for her film "Adoption" in 1975 and the Bronze Hugo for "Diary for My Children" in 1984.
