On December 5, we're delighted to bring back our friend and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steve Bognar, who will present his recently remastered debut film PERSONAL BELONGINGS. Made over the course of eight years, Bognar's first feature "casts a wry, unflinching lens on his complicated father, Bela, a Hungarian émigré adjusting to life in the suburban midwestern United States. Bela participated in the 1956 Hungarian revolution, and the legacy of that struggle hangs heavy over him, his marriage, and his children. His announcement of a sudden return trip to his homeland sparks [Steve] to pick up a camera and document the journey—and ensuing fallout." (synopsis taken from Museum of Moving Image in NYC - where Steve's film recently screened in a retrospective) Tickets to this screening are $12.50 each - with 100% of the proceeds staying with us at THE NEON.
Following PERSONAL BELONGINGS, NEON guests will be treated to a Q&A with Bognar as well as a bonus film chronicling the life of his late partner Julia Reichert.AN EVENING WITH STEVE BOGNAR showing at: December 5, 7:30 pm
