Time Travel to Gyula – Reconstructed Franciscan Ruin.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

It is expected that the Franciscan ruin of Gyula will be handed over  under with the Roman Catholic Mass, after consultation with the Church, is expected in October.

Last year, Mayor Ernő Görgényi initiated the possibility that in the 2017 budget, the city should provide this source of money.

The historical site is definitely  to be a more promising tourist destination than ever before.

The Franciscan monks established in 1410 by the pope in the estate of Gyula, once 35 meters in length and 10 meters wide.  The Franciscan Garden – Church and Monastery in 1905, was requested by János Maróti major of Macsó the permission from the pope to set up the Franciscan monastery. Most of the population lived in this area until 1566., when most fled from the attacks of the Turks.

According to historians and archaeologists at the first half of the 20th century in the Franciscan Garden  at the Epreskert Street, two Hungarian ladies were buried in the 16th century, Erzsébet Corvin and Beatrix Frangepán. Both remnants were discovered in the 1930s. The shrine and the built-in cells were reconstructed in the 1960s and some of them are still visible today.

There is no doubt that very few people know at Gyula and its surroundings that the Gyula Franciscan monastery and the church were extremely unique and great at the time. In terms of its function, it also played a prominent role since three provincial meetings were held here. During the Reformation, it was important for the Catholics to have the region, a dominant and strong Catholic institution.

Hokuszai – “Over the Great Wave” – Pushkin Film Theater – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , .

Hokuszai – “Over the Great Wave”  – color, English subtitled documentary, 90 minutes, will be screen at the Pushkin Film Theater in Budapest and plus other 5 Hungarian Film Theaters throughout  Hungary beginning in October, 2017.

The audience may follow the comprehensive exhibition and through his works, Hokusai’s painting life course up to his twilight age.

You will see the birth of modern art … A new kind of beauty is born brought alive by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) who was one of the most renowned of Japan’s woodblock print artists, whose influence on European avant-garde in the age of Vincent Van Gogh.  Yet these brilliant designers who emerged from the pleasure district of Edo (now Tokyo) in the 18th and 19th centuries remain curiously enigmatic.

Katsushika Hokusai can be well deserved named like Japan’s Picasso.

Hokusai  name with other painting is distinguished by his work of  “The Great Wave” (1831). The  36 Views of Mount Fuji, which includes The Great Wave, the sacred volcano is seen in accurate perspective, western style, small on the horizon … so giving the scale to the Great Wave.

Hokusai’s abstract experiments with a single colour look forward not just to Van Gogh’s colour ecstasies but Andy Warhol’s Technicolour screen prints.

The film is brought by the Pannonia Entertainment.com. Ticket purchased on the spot.

Cannes Corporate: McCann Budapest went high!

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , .

 

The Hungarian advertising professionals got huge success on one of the world’s biggest international corporation film festival. The prominent jury with Emmy and Oscar winners awarded McCann Budapest’s work in two categories as the best pieces.

The Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards was held for the 8th time on the French Riviera. On this advertising festival, the world’s best advertising and film professionals competed in 5 main categories and 41 subcategories.

Beyond the classical solutions, for the first time, the festival also awarded films and documentaries that used 360 degrees technology and the contents that were created for social media platforms.

The best nominees are awarded with Gold, Silver or Black Dolphin trophies. The independent, international jury consists of Oscar and Emmy winners, directors, corporation film and media experts, plus marketing and communication professionals year by year.

McCann Budapest’s film, the “Safety First”, which was created for E.ON, was awarded with the Gold Dolphin prize in Internal Communication and Human Resources categories. In addition, the work made it to the White Dolphin trophy’s shortlist that is the Grand Prix of the festival.

The shocking film was created to highlight the following problem: although, there are less and fewer accidents related to electricity and gas technology thanks to E.ON’s safety actions, the number of traffic accidents within the company did not reduce. Analyzing the reasons, the E.ON realized that most of the colleagues consider driving as a routine task, therefore, they don’t feel the weight of responsibility. The main goal of E.ON was to shoot a safety film that has powerful effects not only on the rational but also on the emotional side. Although everybody knows how dangerous the speeding can be, facts show that we can gain a bigger impact by affecting the emotions.

Dániel Silye (Branded Content Specialist) and Márk Éry (Creative Producer), the two colleagues of McCann Budapest, adapted the story of a real car accident that happened with E.ON employees during work.

The director of the award-winning work piece is Oszkár Viktor Nagy. He created his first feature film only a couple of years ago and he immediately won the award of the foreign critics (Gene Moskowitz prize) on the biggest Hungarian film festival and in the same year it was nominated for the European Film prize. Lately, he mostly shoots documentaries. His last recognition was at the best script category on FIPA, Europe’s biggest television festival.
