In this episode, we feature the distinguished Hungarian documentary filmmaker and multimedia artist Peter Forgacs/

Peter Forgács has a long-standing reputation as Hungary’s most innovative documentary filmmaker. He was recently granted the Dragon of Dragons award during the 60th anniversary of the Krakow Film Festival for his exceptional contribution to the development of international cinema. The Dragon of Dragons Award is the highest distinction granted by the Krakow Film Foundation Programme Council. 

Beyond all of his accolades and successes as an artist, Peter Forgács is a deeply kind and generous human being, and we are so grateful to have had the chance to sit with him recently to discuss his works, his inspirations, and the concepts with which his work is based on.
