Afterlife
by Péter Szabó
Film made for personal use by my father with a Mustek DV 3032 camera, what makes a really bad quality picture (i didn’t used effects to get the desired quality). He documented the thorax of my grandfather, where the family gathered together, and sang different songs: Christian, Jewish, Gypsy, Balkan and Gospels as well. In the present political over frustrated situation this songs has extra meaning, and creates a misunderstanding among listeners because you can hear songs from „both sides”. The video points out that politics can box everything, killing the real meaning, and making the subject an object of its growing power.
