6th European Art Cinema Day at Apollo Cinema!

The Apollo Cinema in Debrecen is participating in the 6th European Art Cinema Day on Sunday 14th of November 2021. The event byline is “Europe goes to the movies again!”, and is being held for the sixth time.

Art cinema and European film fans can enjoy the European Art Cinema Day across Hungary, which will take place in over 700 art cinemas in 38 countries. The transnational international event is organised by the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE) and Europa Cinemas to raise awareness of the diversity of European cinema and the importance of art cinema as a cultural and community space.

On this day, participating cinemas (including Debrecen’s Apollo Cinema), and another 24 arthouse cinemas across Hungary, will premiere festival-winning films. The domestic line-up includes exciting new European and domestic films from Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, ranging from dramas, thrillers, and romantic sci-fi comedies to restored Hungarian classics in a wide variety of genres, which will be screened weeks or months before their national premiere at the European Art Cinema Day.

Let’s meet on 14th November and celebrate European cinema together again! (Apollo program is below the video)

The film follows the aftermath of a sexual assault in the lives of a broken couple.
To the best of my knowledge, the main characters are Nóra and Dénes (Gabriella Hámori and Balázs Bodolai), a young couple preparing for the birth of their first child when she is sexually assaulted one night. The incident turns their lives upside down, and as Nóra is the only witness to the assault, the devastated husband tries to find out exactly what happened that night.
