Old Budapest #1


Since our previous filler worked out really good and we like all kind of retro stuff we are going to launch an "old Budapest" series. This will be basically based on the film Budapest retro which is composed of archive film footages from the 60's-70's. This time period is the middle of the so-called "Kádár era" which is considered as a soft version of the communist despotism. Hungary in this particular period enjoyed many amenities not available to other communist countries in the Eastern block, but paid a high economic price for it in the early 90's. Of course the "happy"people on the videos didn't know what the consequences would be of their short prosperity.
