Prize-winning film director András Kovács dies, aged 91
Budapest, March 11 (MTI) – The prize-winning Hungarian director András Kovács died on Saturday, aged 91, his family told MTI.
Kovács was awarded the Kossuth Prize in 1970, Hungary’s highest state honour for artists, and was a two-time winner of the Balázs Béla Prize.
Kovács’s 1966 film Cold Days, which examined individual responsibility for the massacre by Hungarian military and gendarmerie of Serbs and Jews in Vojvodina in 1942, became the source of much controversy.
His 1978 film The Stud Farm was among the first to deal openly with Hungary’s history in the 1950s.
