ANITA B. – ITALIAN DRAMA – MITTELCINEMAFEST – BUDAPEST – 2014

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

ANITA B

Indeed an unexpected Holocaust story. A drama of  a girl who finds a form of redemption after the horrors of the concentration camp.

Director: Roberto Faenza, Screenplay: Roberto Faenza – Edith Bruck, Actors: Eline Powell – Robert Sheehan – Antonio Cupo – Nico Mirallegro , Andrea Osvárt

Before the premiere screening cinema award gala took place whereas the  Roberto Faenza, the film’s director received the Mittelcinemafrest Lifetime Achievement  Award. The sculptor was made by István Madarassy , which was handled over by the representative of the Municipality of Budapest. At the gala ceremony was also present. HE Maria Assunta  Accili – Ambassador of Italy to Budapest, HE Ilan Mor – Ambassador of Israel to Budapest and also Director of the Italian Cultural Institution.

The Film is based on the chapters of Edith Bruck’s life who was a Holocaust survivor, held in concentration camps when she was still a child. In 1954 she eventually settled in Italy. In 2009 she published How Many Stars Twinkle in the Sky, which won her the Viareggio Prize.

The film is about Anita B, a Jewish girl of Hungarian origin who has emerged alive from Auschwitz, is taken in after the war by her Monika her surviving aunt. Monika, the thirty year old sister of Anita’s father. Monika, however, does not liked to be called „Aunt” and receives her niece with something less than enthusiasm. Monika lives with her husband Aron with little Roby, their son in a small town int he mountains of Czechoslovakia. Another family member is living with them, the young Eli, Aron’s brother, whose philosophy of life can be summed up as follows: „Men want to unbutton their pants, women think about love”.

In brief  … Sudetenland , the town they live before the war had a large German population. The former inhabitants have been forcibly ejected, their homes taken over by returning prisoners and refugees. There is an air of increasing tension in the place, as the communists prepare to seize power.

To begin with after her arrival, Anita finds herself a virtual prisoner once more; this time because of a lack of any ID documents. She cannot leave the house. Those people she does come in to contact with, however, all seem intent on forgetting the recent horrors of Shoa. Instead, they rather go out to dance, enjoy themselves, and listen to popular american songs On Air by the Voice of America, even though the Russians disturb the radio transmission across the Iron Curtain.

Anita too has her dreams, but unlike the others is determined not to turn her back on the past. She’s a spirited girl, full of hope for the future, finding her strength in the memory of her parents, themselves both killed in the camps. She is disconcerted by that refusal to remember on the part of all those around her. No-one in the family … not even Eli, with whom she soon embarks on a passionate affair … seems even to want to think about what has happened, let alone talk about it. It’s as if everyone feels ashamed of having survived.

The denial of pain blocks the path to the truth. Anita instinctively knows this, but when she tries to breach that collective wall of silence that surrounds her, she finds herself being pushed back. So, if she wants to talk to anyone about her beloved and lost parents, she has to do so with little Roby, aged two, who listens to her happily but doesn’t understand.

In that melting pot of languages and nationalities that is the Central Europe of those days, once Anita is able to get out of the house she meets a whole range of unforgettable characters: among them Uncle Jacob, a musician who seems to be the conscience of the community; Sarah, the dynamic „ferrywoman” who organizes the refugees’ clandestine passage to Palestine; and young David, who like Anita is an orphan,who lost his parents in a non less tragic circumstances. Anita and David work at the same sewing workshop and soon become friends. One day he suddenly vanishes, in pursuit of his own dream. On the same day, just on the brink of womanhood, she finds herself pregnant with Eli’s baby. The story does not end here, so sincerely recommend the film viewing. The film was Italian speaking, sometimes Yiddish, with Hungarian subtitled, but hopefully it will come out in some places with English subtitle as well.

The film was released this year on January, 16  in Italy and screened  Israel and now at the MITTELCINEMAFEST – XIIth Italian Film Festival now showing in Budapest – Hungary … Coming  soon to Krakow, Bratislava and Prague.

Upon the 25th anniversary to the Hungarian-Israeli resumption of diplomatic relations the commemorative envelope ceremony was held  to-day at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade in Budapest.

At the event, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations László Szabó emphasized that Hungary way back then was forced to break ties with Israel. It certainly has caused a lot of damage to economic co-operation and relations between the two nation. The inclusion of links then began the friendship, cooperation and plenitude of national economic interests , he added.

The Minister of State recalled on September, 18 will be the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on the resumption of diplomatic relations in Budapest, without prior notice, but after a long preparation. HE – Ilan Mor – Israel’s  Ambassador in Budapest, stressed the friendship between Hungary and Israel, not just the rich common past,  based on history ,  but also on the two countries to cooperate in the future.

The diplomat explained that the flag of Israel and Hungary ont he memorial envelope has a formatted heart shape.  It shows last 25 years as a heart beat of the two kingdom of cooperation. At first this heart beat started on September, 18. 1989., on the date of admission of the establishment of diplomatic relations.  That date Israel will never forget – he said.

Polacsek Csaba – President of the Hungarian Post’s Board of Directors said that already had far more Israeli or Jewish-related issues as publishing memory cards onto the Hungarian-Israeli diplomatic relations and resumption with also to the 20th anniversary stamps which were previously issued:  Jewish art in Hungary, Hungarian Synagogues, Raoul Wallenberg, and also lately to the 70th anniversary of the Holocaust   http://www.rollinginbudapest.com/2014/05/13/in-memoriam-victims-of-the-holocaust-1944/

The company with the most dynamically developing market drugstore has already pasted its teenager years being in Hungary and became already known as a popular brand.

One of its important task of a brand is of creating the loyalty of customers.

The press and media representatives joined at the Gundel Restaurant/ Budapest were Rossmann – Hungary Managing  Director László Flórián welcomed the audience. In brief he outlined with the figures some data by saying, the Rossmann drugstore Hungarian subsidiary of the group last year increase of 8.9% in gross, revenue of 47.5 billion HUF. It has been on a steady growth path after living through the crisis years. He also added, the number of stores having 179 since 2011 increased in 2013 up to opening the 184 store. The number of staff in 2011 was 1145, in 2013 was 1201. Greater emphasis has been on the qualitative expansion … eight small stores had went through “face-lift” whereas a completely renovation was carried out and the positive enviroment was equal to the positive reception which was measured 30% of increase of sales at these stores. Developing the webshop was unique by itself in Hungary and more than 6,000 different  products  are delivered within two weekdays. The shoppers may pick up the products at their national post office, or at one of the 125 MOL petrol stations. Furthermore, launched more than two years ago the Rossmann’s Baby Program and there can be to followed the coming up different special offers. This year, the drugstore was the first to open its Maternity Club, which is chat corridor on a monthly base with an online nurse on the end. Another significant event was the installation of the FB Club, where in addition to the intense daily communication, periodic games awaited the FB fans. One of the hot shots for mainly men was of last year’s Football WC which was on the telly. At the time being more than half-a-million men played on the Rossmann’s website, figuring out the number of goals in the Toto game.

Thereafter we heard the following from Anita Varga – Rossmann – Hungary Marketing Manager, Quote: “After a long time Rossmann decided to bring to life their new image. Between September 7 till October 31 through the electronic media will be broadcasting on the domestic National TV channels, two kind of advertising videos. After having in mind the idea of advertisement, we thought the drugstore’s new image couldn’t be better than to bring a person from the Hungarian celebrity world who has a unique, reliable, caring and being cool at the same time. So we came up with choice of Attila Árpa – producer-actor who was not only pleased to accepted our invitation to be the face in our company’s new image, but also to hear about shooting the video as the third one along with his wife and daughter.

At the end of the presentation asked Rossmann Hungary Executive Director László Florián: Are they funding, supporting any institutions in Hungary?  A.: “As in the previous year, this year again the Rossmann Company will be giving Xmas gift packages at Szeged to the  ÁGOTA Foundation  (A state care and support for vulnerable young people in charitable organization.) Also supporting the  Hungarian youth  handball and water polo players with equipments and last but not least will be having for the second year to come this season the“Xmas Run”, jointly organized  with the Sport Bureau Budapest (BSI). It will be arranged on the 6th of December, 2014. „  Q.: What will be Rossmann  company’s  future plans, challenges for the year 2015 in Hungary?  A.: „Marketing… continuing TV adds …  providing, upgrading webshop service …  renewing quality of 25 stores throughout the country”.

Saying that, once again the good idea can take a lot of it and at the Rossmann Drugstore where at the shelves everybody can find affordable and high quality products without hopping over to another drugstore present in Budapest or at other city’s Rossmann store in Hungary.

One should also not forget that this is still a young company and they manage to keep their prices down, despite the unstable exchange rate. This coming Season of Fall, the Rossmann store’s shelves will be filled with their own new series of products. One which will most probably catch the ladies eyes will be namely the Rival de Loop Young products which were out on display during the press presentation and we could have a good look at the products.

“We know what you want.”
