Budapest-based avant-garde media artist and film director Péter Forgács (Hungarian, b. 1950), the recipient of the 2007 Erasmus Award for exceptional contribution to European culture, is widely acclaimed for his award-winning work using home movies. At this event, Forgács’s will discuss his most recent film, "Hunky Blues: The American Dream," which examines the fate of Hungarian men and women who arrived in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century.
