This meticulously crafted film, shot on location, is a faithful adaptation of Mór Jókai’s romantic novel. Of the three film versions of the novel, this is the earliest. Long considered lost, it is one of the finest examples of Hungarian silent film production, and was created amidst the trying circumstances of the final year of World War I. The film’s stunning colours were achieved through a process known as virage. The director, Sándor Korda, later left Hungary and gained fame in the international film industry as Alexander Korda. The new music composed for the film was written by Bence Farkas, who earned the film music award at Müpa Budapest’s 2020 composition competition with this work.
Before the screening, starting at 5 pm, the film historian Márton Kurutz will give a brief introduction to the film and the music written for it with the help of the composer Bence Farkas. The discussion will be conducted in Hungarian.
The film music was premièred as part of the Bartók Spring International Art Weeks presented by Müpa Budapest in April 2021.
The event is taking place with the support of the National Film Institute, the organisers of the Budapest Classical Film Marathon.

Our offer
While the Fountain of Tears bubbles before him, Giray, khan of the Tatars, is lost in brooding. Just as the flow from the marble fount cannot be exhausted, his own sorrow will never diminish, either. The story of the Fountain of Bakhchisarai is set in motion by a romance recounting the reason for the khan's gloom.
