Statues Also Die?
Statues Also Die?
Screenings of the film as part of the online edition of the 23rd FF Millennium Docs Against Gravity, which will take place from May 19 to June 1, 2026.
The weight of history becomes light in the hands of children. A group of kids become an interviewing team in a Budapest park, a graveyard of enormous old communist statues. Their questions and observations awaken forgotten echoes, and through playful and clever editing, the film captures in this limited space the magnitude of the country’s past and present.
