Thanksgiving is the day when Hungarians traditionally say thanks for surviving their first winter in the Carpathian basin. Arpad did this by cutting open the mythical Turul bird, and wrapping himself in its innards until the Pechenegs had gone away. It was very smelly but he didn't forget to say thanks. So, let's celebrate...

Radioballet (Dance)

Teréz körút 30 [map]
Pest, VI, Teréz körút T4/6), 1 min

Well what do you usually do on a Thursday evening? Isn't it about time you got out to see some contemporary dance? Milan Ujvari leaps around for your entertainment to some drum 'n' bass rhythms. Trailer here. Myspace here.

Come on, you've been moaning about doing the same kind of stuff week in, week out and this won't cost you a thing. Besides, you can go and see a film afterwards: Burn After Reading opens tonight with English subtitles - 22:15. Hell, I might as well plan your whole weekend at this rate!

There's been a nuclear terrorist attack! Quick, hammer large pieces of crooked wood over the doors, get under the table, act like a cockroach and DON'T PANIC!!! Hungarian with English subtitles. If you want an idea about the plot, check here, but be aware that it's a different production entirely.

The Anilogue Film Festival showcases European animated films but my AVG filter seems to think there are active threats on their webpage! You can get the programme here though.

Utsu Yumiko makes some pretty weird stuff (she's a Japanese artist.) Check out a particularly horrrible one here.
