Biography
Márta Mészáros (b. 1931, Budapest) grew up in the USSR where her father perished in Stalin's purges. She got her training in film at Moscow's Film School (VGIK), graduating in 1956. She began making documentaries in Romania and continued in Hungary with an acclaimed series on the emotional problems of lonely women: The Girl (Eltávozott nap, 1968), Binding Sentiments (Holdudvar, 1968), Adoption (Örökbefagadás, 1975), Nine Months (Kilenc hónap, 1976), Just Like at Home (Olyan, mint otthon, 1978) and others. In another festival-awarded series, the director combined events in her own life with traumatizing political realities: Diary for My Children (Napló gyermekeimnek, 1982), Diary for My Loves (Napló szerelmeimnek, 1987), Diary for My Father and Mother (Napló apámnak, anyámnak, 1990) and Little Vilma. The Last Diary (Kisvilma. Az utolsó napló, 1999). And she offered critical reflections on the present day in The Seventh Room (A hetedik szoba, 1995) and Daughters of Luck (A szerencse lányai, 1998).
