Dutch researchers at the Amsterdam-based EYE Film Institute have found one of the oldest extant Hungarian films: A Munkászubbony (The Work Jacket), first appeared on January twelfth, 1915.

The film, directed by István Bródy, stars Gyula Hegedűs, a standout amongst the most essential performing artists of his day in Hungary. Indeed, one of the lanes behind the Vígszínház (Comedy Theater of Budapest), where Hegedűs performed, bears his name right up 'til the present time. Dutch researchers who found the silent film at first trusted it to be of Austrian inception, because of the German written work found on the reel which (erroneously) recognized the substance as a German creation of Ferenc Lehár's Cigányszerelem (Gypsy Love). When they saw the film, in any case, they saw that it was not, truth be told, Lehár's operetta, and after a time of more profound research they found that the substance coordinated the portrayal of The Work Jacket, which they found in the database of Hungarian film reference book site hangosfilm.hu. Looking at the film's performers and additionally surviving articles expounded on Bródy's noiseless show, scientists distinguished the reel's substance. The Work Jacket will soon be sent to the Hungarian National Film Archives’ collection, where it will be restored and digitalized. Altogether, there are just a modest bunch of movies from Hungary's silent film era, roughly 1900-1930 that have survived in place to the present day.
