Hungary's Official 2020 Oscar® Selection PREPARATIONS TO BE TOGETHER FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME [Felkészülés meghatározatlan ideig tartó együttlétre - Horvát Lili új filmje]
In her second feature, writer/director Lili Horvát evokes Sylvia Plath's haunting villanelle, "Mad Girl's Love Song," and spins a delicate web of contrasts and silent explosions that shift the viewer's understanding. Shot with impeccable symmetry on entrancing 35mm, it is an Orphic tale with echoes of Krzysztof Kieślowski's THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VÉRONIQUE that reminds us while the heart is an abstruse trickster, the brain is our most complex organ.

There used to be numerous folk customs and traditions in Hungary during Advent, the preparation period preceding the Christmas holidays.
🍴#RecipeOfTheWeek🍴: Somlói galuska aka. Sponge cake ‘Somlói style’, probably the most Hungarian dessert of all time. With rum-soaked raisins or without, it is a must-try! 😋🤤👇
The sponge cake 'Somlói style' is probably the best-known product of Hungarian confectionery. In the late 1950s, the legendary main waiter of the Gundel restaurant, Károly Gollerits, was the one who introduced the popular dessert for the first time.

Building and improving relationships in the business between the United States and Hungary is a primary goal of the Embassy of Hungary.

The duo of Hungarian companies has been working with our partners to identify market opportunities and steps to expanding further into the US markets. A big thank you to the teams at GetGlobal and Innomine Group for helping organize this event.

Today, we remember the heroes and martyrs of the 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight and commemorate the 30th anniversary of the unveiling of the congressional statue of Hungarian Governor Lajos Kossuth at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. On this very special occasion, let’s dive into the history behind one of only four busts (Wallenberg, Churchill, Havel, Kossuth) honoring non-Americans in the Capitol, which was offered to U.S. Congress to celebrate and commemorate the friendship and shared values between the peoples of the United States and of Hungary.
