Hungary L!ve Festival- LÁSZLÓ GÖNDÖR & ÉVA KATONA: LIVING THE DREAM WITH GRANDMA
In the middle of the quarantine period, I decided to move in with my grandmother. She is 97, I am 35. I wanted to meet the adored and idealized woman, to face our relationship and through it, ultimately, myself. Over the 32 days we spent together, the apartment softly turned into the scene of an unusual party: excellent food and quality champagne appeared out of the blue, there was some expensive jewelry, a mysterious man singing a song from afar, the Virgin Mary lighting up the shelf next to Lenin, crows arriving, the first snow falling, and us, for some reason, wearing masks. The text was written and edited by Zsófia Bódi, Kornél Laboda and László Göndör from the conversations and recollections of László Göndör and his grandmother, Éva Katona.

Hungary L!ve Festival- DJ BOOTSIE TRIO & VJ KEMURI
Advanced hip-hop beats, electronica, scratch, samples from films and folk songs and from jazz…a masterful cutting edge combination of all of the above constituted the tracks of producer-turntablist DJ Bootsie for the past twenty years.Due to his unique sound he managed to stand out of the international hip-hop electronic scene even with his first album (The Silent Partner) already, that was released on Ugar Records in 2004. His subsequent albums were released by the highly respected british BBE Records, with international bigboys like J-Dilla, Pete Rock, DJ Vadim and DJ Jazzy Jeff, or Madlib on their roster.He has produced soundtracks for theater and cinema and his works were included on well-known compilation albums, brand events and fashion shows. (Buddha Bar, DJ Cam-My playlist, Mercedes Benz Mixtape, Marc Cain, Vogue Germany, CSI tv sequel, etc.) The Hungarian State Opera has commissioned him to produce uptodate adaptations of two movements of the most important national historic opera (László Hunyadi by Ferenc Erkel) as well as Richard Wagner’s Twilight of the Gods and Rhinegold. Back in the mid-90’s he was co-founder of the groundbreaking underground hip-hop formation the Against the Current, with which he won the Fila Rap Jam talent show out of 150 competitors.
