tranzit. hu presents: Hajnal Németh – False Testimony (a Version of the Version), 2012 performance video (Full HD, stereo, sound, 20')
Filmscreening / hu /
Date: 18 May 2012, Friday, 7 pm
Venue: KIRÁLY 102, 1068 Budapest, Király u. 102, 1st floor
Following an introduction by Hajnal Németh, the film will be screened several times during the evening.
The musical performance entitled False Testimony, which has been recorded on video, is based on an actual historical event and a dialogue of a film, Version, treating this event. The “Tiszaeszlár Affair,” which took place in Hungary between 1882 and 1883, gained infamy in Europe as an anti-Semitic blood libel and show trial. The subject of the case was the accusation of the Jews of Tiszaeszlár of ritually murdering a Christian girl. The trial was described in a book by Károly Eötvös, liberal member of parliament who, as the counsel for the defense, managed to get his clients acquitted.
The film Version (1981) by Miklós Erdély focuses on a specific detail of the trial. It portrays, with great sensitivity, the moment when 14-year-old crown witness Móric Scharf is taught by the gendarme his false testimony. The lyrics for the songs in Németh’s music performance are based on rephrased fragments of the film’s dialogues. The structure of the performance follows the method of teaching and learning; the forced memorization of the lie, which is later articulated as the false testimony. The performance shows the stages of this process: the learning, acceptance and psychological attainment of the false testimony, its development into a conviction and ultimate, fatal proclamation.

Sweet Confusion
conference / sweet sixties / Istanbul / at /
Sweet Confusion is a conference project that comparatively explores Armenian and Turkish cinematography of the 60s. The conference attempts to reread the socio-political and cultural paradigms of two geopolitically estranged situations, which throughout the 1960s were in the process of self-defining and self-positioning themselves by determining and shaping the “other” through the complex correlation of cultural and political systems.

Lecture by Walter Benjamin: The Unmaking of Art
The Unmaking of Art is a story told by Walter Benjamin about the birth of art and art institutions. It tells us where why and how certain ideas of art (museums, galleries, exhibitions, artist and artwork)
originated, and how they have developed in the last five centuries. In this story the notion of art is not a universal category or something that is characteristic for all cultures, but a specific concept that appeared in the Western world during the period called the Enlightenment

We can view the Middle East as a strange territory. Is it a land that’s remote, incomprehensible and foreign or is it, in this media age, in this age of a globalising world and in factoring in all historical contexts, “our” (Czech?, Central European?, Western?) space – a land connected to the culture of many ethnic groups and nations on all continents?
