JÁNOS VITÉZ
The animated film János Vitéz, directed by the legendary Marcell Jankovics, is screened during the "Petőfi 200" celebrations (the film is based on the epic poem by Hungarian national poet Sándor Petőfi, whose 200th anniversary falls this year).
János Vitéz was the first Hungarian feature-length animated film made to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Petőfi's birth. This year, the film was given Finnish subtitles in verse form.
The protagonist of the adventure is a shepherd turned hussar, who must perform countless earthly feats and pass through the trials of the afterlife to see his love Iluska again in Fairyland.
