Re:Verzió screening series ends with Olga Kosanović's satirical documentary on citizenship.
Date: Friday, 12 June 2026, 6:00 p.m.
Venue: CEU Budapest, Auditorium A
Directed by: Olga Kosanović
Austria, 2025, 92 min
German language with Hungarian and English subtitles
The filmmaker Olga Kosanović was born in Austria, where she has always lived. She only left for vacations and – like many young Europeans – to study abroad. But when she applied for Austrian citizenship, the authorities calculated that she’d spent two months too long out of the country. She was stunned to discover that she didn’t belong in the land she had always called home. Her feature film debut FAR FROM BEING LIPIZZANS records with considerable humour the bureaucratic process of naturalization and reflects on the factual and fictional elements involved in determining where someone belongs.
The event is free of charge, but registration is required.
The screening is presented as part of the CEU Livable World Festival on June 12–13 in Nádor Street.
