Seeing Further

Seeing Further is a powerfully eloquent declaration of love to the cinema and the collective experience of watching by Esther Kinsky, one of Germany´s most important contemporary writers. On a journey through the south-east of Hungary some years back, Esther Kinsky finds herself in a small town in the Alfold, the Great Hungarian Plain. Resignation and a glorification of the past are the most dominant threads in the inhabitants´ conversations. Like many other things, the cinema, ´mozi’ in Hungarian, has long since closed. Esther Kinsky´s own passion for the cinema moves her to bring the decaying mozi back to life.
