IFFR 2023
A television documentary about miners: the reality of their work versus how it is made to look and sound in the public sphere. It contrasts real people speaking in their own voice with the way officialdom speaks about them.

Programme IFFR 2023
Focus: Judit Elek
Judit Elek (1937) is among world cinema’s most uncompromising figures. Beloved by IFFR founder Huub Bals, yet to this day little known in wider circles, Elek made both fiction and documentary films that are almost brutally personal, reflecting as much the history of her native Hungary as her own trauma-riddled life. International Film Festival Rotterdam is honoured to present the most complete retrospective so far of an auteur whose works and wisdom are needed today as urgently as ever.
