Move on Down. Precarity in Contemporary Hungarian Cinema
- Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary
This video essay engages with the topic of precarity in feature films produced in Hungary around and after the regime change of 1989, which launched tectonic social transformations leading to widespread instability. The essay confronts precarity as downward intragenerational mobility from an economic and social perspective from the final years of state socialism until the present. As an audiovisual product, the video documents the author’s efforts to move beyond the disembodied voice of academic texts and experiment with accent as a marker of social entanglement.
