  Balázs Béla BOOKS: Hungarian Bookstore
Bela Balazs has been known chiefly for writing the first systematic treatise on film aesthetics.
Jewish by descent, Hungarian poet, German writer, and international cineast, Balazs was an artist, a revolutionary, and a humanist--a key European cultural figure.
Through his art and his criticism, Balazs was both a chronicler of his times and an inspirational force for many famous contemporaries.

On March 22, the Deputy Prime Minister of Romania, Bela Marko, spoke at CEU on the topic of "Romanian Integration: Romanians and Hungarians in a Common Europe." Marko was introduced by CEU Executive Vice-President, Istvan Teplan, with further commentary and discussion moderation given by Professor Peter Balazs.
Bela Marko stated that integration is a common wish of the region, and that he is eager to see it happen as soon as possible.
He further noted that a “strategic partnership” should be sought between Romania and Hungary to help wash away the historical separations between the two countries, while focusing on the current opportunity to cooperate, instead of compete.

 MUSIC REVIEW; The Battle of the Sexes, Sung and Danced to Bartok - New York Times
Bela Bartok's ''Bluebeard's Castle'' is two characters in search of an opera.
Bartok and his librettist, Bela Balazs, succeed in filling the inner lives of their characters, one the homicidal lord, the other the curious bride.
Indeed, there are those who think that Bartok's opera is happier not being an opera at all, and it is as a concert piece that we know it best.

 [No title]
I had the opportunity to interview Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr last summer, but I was never able to sell the piece.
Given the relative obscurity of Tarr (his masterpiece SATANTANGO has a North American distributor, but it's only had anything close to a theatrical run in two cities: New York and Toronto), this didn't come as much of a surprise.
I went to the Bela Balazs Studio, which at that time was a very open place.

Bela Tarr is Hungary's leading avant-garde, experimental filmmaker.
For who else but Bela Tarr would spend three years (1991-94) trying to bring Laszlo Krasznahorkai's 1985 novel "Satantango" ("Satan's Tango") to the screen in an hypnotic seven-and-a-half-hour tour-de-force?
Bela Tarr, born in 1955 in Pecs, made several amateur films, graduated from the Budapest Film Academy (1981), worked at the Bela Balazs Studio and was a founding member of short-lived Tarsulas Film Studio (1981-85).

 Laszlo Krasnahorkai and Bela Tarr
The auteur theory diminishes the significance of the writer, cameraperson, editor or the producer in any "studio" process, if he or she does not also function as "the director".
International film festivals, long the self appointed aesthetic judge and jury of the artistic talent/fate of "directors", have also anointed this auteur theory as the dominant mode for the classification of feature film.
Hence, both of these films appear in the West as films by Bela Tarr and never by a studio.

Bela Balazs and Leni Riefenstahl: The Blue Light.
Riefenstahl reports to Balázs about it in a letter dated February 21, 1932: „Dear Bela, I have been waiting for news from you for ages and am beginning to think that you have forgotten us.“
In the meantime there were „major clashes“ between Fanck and Carl Mayer who was also a part of the project, and also the music composer, Giuseppe Becce, who was to rearrange his composition within a matter of days so that it fitted the new cut: all of this just for weeks before the film‘s premier.

In 1911, Bela Bartók submitted an opera to a Hungarian National Competition.
A one-act work, this hour-long adaptation of a Charles Perrault fairy tale didn't win the contest, but nonetheless, Duke Bluebeard's Castle has gone on to become a genuine 20th-century masterpiece, and Bartók's dream of establishing a true Hungarian-language opera has been realized.

 Bartok Duke Bluebeard's Castle 2564 61953-2 [RH]: Classical CD Reviews- November 2005 MusicWeb-International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Opera does not seem to have been one of Bartók’s primary concerns; he only wrote three works for the stage and two of those were ballets.
Librettist Bela Balazs wrote the text of Duke Bluebeard’s Castle as a speculative venture, hoping that either Kodály or Bartók would set it.
Balazs’s intention was to use the poetic forms in Transylvanian folk-songs but to create a significant modern work in the same way that both Kodály and Bartók were creating contemporary music inspired by their folk-song collecting.

For this new vocal-score edition, Stanley Appelbaum has provided an informative introduction and a full English synopsis based on the original Hungarian text.
The first vocal work and the only opera written by Bela Bartok (1881-1945), Bluebeard's Castle is considered the greatest Hungarian opera.
Though it is concentrated into a single act and has only two characters, it burns with a fully operatic intensity-"a musical volcano," as Zoltan Kodaly called it, "that erupts for sixty minutes of compressed tragedy."

When we see the face of things, we do what the ancients did in creating gods in man's image and breathing a human soul into them.
Course Description: In his seminal attempt to articulate an aesthetics of film, Bela Balazs raises issues that have haunted art theorists for millennia: what is it that art represents?
Plato condemned art as an inadequate and misleading depiction of the real; although Aristotle, in defending certain kinds of imitation from his mentor's dismissal, launched literary theory, we nonetheless hear versions of Plato's concerns levied against contemporary forms of representation.

This groundbreaking, powerful postwar Hungarian film, from director Geza Radvani, captured the painful plight of Hungary's desperate war orphans.
Co-written by renowned film theorist Bela Balazs, this bleak film follows a group of young street scavengers who settle into a seemingly abandoned castle and bond with the traumatized conductor who's been living there--only to have their fragile peace destroyed once again by the "civilized" world.
