Between 8 and 20 November 2022, VERZIO Film Festival invites you on an amazing trip around the world via the finest human rights documentaries, which will be shown in six Hungarian cities and online.
Welcome speech by Dr. Anett Bősz, Deputy Mayor of Budapest for Human Services.
Concert by Mariia Chuprynenko, Ukrainian singer-songwriter.
The opening film:
Away (Távol)
(Ruslan Fedotow, Hungary, Belgium, Portugal, 28 minutes)
Andrii and Alisa, Ukrainian teenagers from Kharkiv, have just arrived in Budapest. They hold after-school drawing classes for Ukrainian refugee children, and await news from their families back home. News reports and phone calls with family bring the harsh everyday reality of the war into their lives, while the teens’ street art protesting Russia’s aggression against Ukraine provokes debate with passersby.
