Univ Of Minnesota Press (December 2, 2011) Péter Forgács, based in Budapest, is best known for his award-winning films built on home movies from the 1930s to the 1960s that document ordinary lives soon to intersect with offscreen historical events. Cinema’s Alchemist offers a sustained exploration of the imagination and skill with which Forgács reshapes such film footage, originally intended for private replica orologi di lusso and personal viewing, into extraordinary films dedicated to remembering the past in ways that matter for our future.
