NEW LOCATION! Winter 2006 Central European Film Series presents:
"Cold Days"
Directed by Andras Kovacs (Hungary, 1968, 96 min)
Thursday, February 23, 2006 7:30 - 9:30 pm
Hewlett 102
One of the most important Hungarian films of the 1960's, Andras Kovacs'
“Cold Days” was an extremely courageous theme to tackle at the time, in view of the silence which had, until then, shrouded the Hungarian role in
World War II. The film is based on the massacre of several thousand Jewish and Serbian people of Novi Sad in 1942. "The film is structured round the
memories and self-justifications of four men involved in the massacre as they await trial in 1946. Each, of course, denies his complicity or
responsibility…Many of the images in the film remain unforgettable.
This film series is being shown in conjunction with COMPLIT 244: Central
