Lise Pedersen A Hungarian silent film once thought lost, “After Death” (“A halál után”), will premiere at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon, thanks to a restoration initiative led by Hungary’s National Film Institute (NFI).
The only surviving copy of the 1920 erotic crime thriller directed by Alfréd Dicy, one of the pioneers of Hungarian cinema, was found in Belgium’s Royal Film Archive.
Its restoration was completed through collaboration between Belgium, Hungary and France, with support from the E.U.’s Creative Europe MEDIA program. “After Death” is just one of several films on Hungary’s “Most Wanted List,” which was launched in 2021 to recover early Hungarian films.
So far, about a dozen from the list have been found and restored. The oldest on the list, “The Dance” (“A Táncz”), dating back to 1901, is considered to be Hungary’s first film.
