Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday, but you're probably not that organised. Forget about it, it's the weekend. Our Bars and Cafes section might give you a few more ideas.

Pest, IX, Ferenc körút (M3), 3 min

Hotel Modern's Camp, showing as part of the LOW festival, sounds intriguing... Auschwitz brought to life onstage with 3-inch figures and models of buildings, around which the actors move like 'war reporters.' It's been well-advertised and could sell out, so phone ahead to check availablity.

This sounds more like a wacky concept than a real movie... a blackly comic gothic horror musical! With Johnny Depp! Singing! Still, it probably isn't all that daring, given that it's an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's hit stage show. The trailer is here.

All That Cinema (Exhibition)

Ludwig Museum, until 30th March
Komor Marcell u. 1 [map]
Pest South, IX Millenniumi Kulturális Központ (T2) 3 min

Video art in Hungary is barely 20 years old but the Ludwig museum has already amassed quite a collection. So this is a sort of 'best of' from the video vaults, mostly from the last decade.
