Description
The UofT Hungarian Film Club in association with the Consulate General of Hungary in Toronto, is proud to bring a special presentation of Sunshine (1999, dir. István Szabó). The producer of the film, Robert Lantos, will join us for a Q&A session.
Sunshine chronicles the complicated stories of love, loss, and triumph in three generations of the Sonnenschein / Sors family. Part fact, part fiction, the film highlights the struggles of Jewish-Hungarians during WWII, managing the family liquor business (modelled after Unicum), and the complex relationships between generations as they try to maintain their identity. It won best film at the 1999 Genie Awards and won a number of prizes at the European Film Awards.
Born in Budapest, raised in Uruguay, and immigrated to Canada, Robert Lantos is an award winning film producer. He is a member of the Order of Canada and winner of the Canadian Media Production Associations 10th annual Feature Film Producer’s Award. He produced over 40 feature films, including: In Praise of Older Women (1978), Eastern Promises (2007), Ararat (2002), and Remember (2015).
