SYNOPSIS
Baska Speaks Hungarian (2023, 45 minutes)
The film Baska is Speaking Hungarian portrays the childhood of artist József Baska and his family's harrowing escape from Rosznyó to Hungary on horseback in a single night, fleeing deportation to the Sudetenland in January 1947.
However, the film transcends the personal trauma of a single family, serving as a tribute to the thousands of Hungarians who were deported from Czechoslovakia. It poignantly explores the question: Can art heal the wounds of transgenerational trauma?
