Hungarian Movie Nights - Cat Call

The Liszt Institute New York's brand new summer screening series Hungarian Movie Nights brings you some of the best, award-winning Hungarian movies of the last couple of years. On August 15, 2024 we are thrilled to present Rozália Szeleczki's film, Cat Call in an online movie streaming.

Synopsis

Fáni, 30, is trapped in a world of her own imagination: ever since a traumatic childhood experience, she has pictured the death of each man she finds attractive. To avoid these fantasies she chooses to be alone, focusing on her job as an architect.

But one day a new neighbour arrives, whose talking black cat starts courting her. Fáni falls for the mysterious creature, even though only she can hear him speak. She escapes reality to dedicate herself to this whimsical relationship, but it soon begins to turn destructive. The Cat uses Fáni more and more to his own advantage, alienating her from everyone and everything important to her. But her toxic journey with the Cat is also a journey into her painful past. 

Can she overcome her fears at last and see the real-life opportunities right in front of her?

The movie is in Hungarian with English subtitles. The event is free of charge but registration is required.

PLEASE, NOTE THAT THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE ONLINE.
