SONGS FROM PEOPLE’S ISLAND

Documentary, Hungary, 2024, 25 min
Director of Photography: Teleki Mihály, Director: Bíró Danijar

The skeletal remains of factories on People’s Island today serve only as mementos of a time when this landscape was considered a prime industrial area of Budapest and the Danube. The rust belt is dynamically transforming, taking on a new face each year. But what impact does this transformation have on the island? The film is a visual study and musical panorama with elements of absurdist tragicomedy, exploring the changes occurring on the island from the perspective of a homeless islander.
