Apocrypha
Directed by István Orosz
The inspiration for the film was a four-line poem written by the late János Pilinszky (1921-1981), an outstanding figure of contemporary Hungarian poetry. Focusing on artistic portrayals of the Holy Virgin, photographic and animation media are combined to capture an atmosphere and convey a lyrical sentiment by means of the continually changing spectacle.
