Silent Journeys

February 14 - 21, 2025

Pera Film, in collaboration with the Hungarian Cultural Center, presents the online film program Silent Journeys.

The film program offers a selection of remarkable Hungarian animations from recent years, featuring short films such as Amok, Oliver the Giant, and Meditation at Dusk, notable for their artistic depth and striking narratives. These non-verbal films explore profound inner transformations and characters' spiritual and mental journeys in silence.

The films will be available for viewing on the Pera Museum's website from February 14 to 21.

Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.
