Macskafogó 40, Film Screening With Live Music

Synopsis/Details

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the best-loved examples of Hungarian animation, Macskafogó (Cat City). Béla Ternovszky and József Nepp’s brilliant creation has become a cult classic over the decades, with its iconic lines and characters now firmly woven into the fabric of everyday life in Hungary. To celebrate this special occasion, Müpa Budapest is paying tribute to the film with an unforgettable audiovisual experience. During the screening, the legendary melodies will be performed live: the brass section of the Budapest Orchestra Project will set the classic film noir atmosphere, while the virtuoso voices of the Jazzation a cappella ensemble evoke the unforgettable 1980s musical backdrop. The adventures of Grabowski and the rats have never sounded so good!

The anniversary screening will be complemented by a range of additional attractions throughout the day, including a photo exhibition, an online quiz, and interactive photo opportunities.

The screening will be in the original Hungarian language, without subtitles.

Venue

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.

The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
