Foreword
[translation] "I was born in 1955 in Budapest. I graduated
in 1979 in the Hungarian-English department of ELTE's
faculty of arts. After university I studied screenwriting at MAFILM [former State-owned film
company]. I began film criticism in 1980. From 1981 I became an associate of
the Hungarian Film Institute. As a student of screenwriting, my first lesson was
plot construction. Later, after I studied film theory, film history and other
Eastern-European creative arts I settled on screenwriting. Even though we worship plot we only have a handful
of well written films. That is why I want to meet and interview
American filmmakers, moreover I enjoy any connection with
filmmaking. With this book, I do that now. |
[translation]

"The author interviewed Menahem Golan, the
world famous film director and producer, when he worked on a film [Hanna's War, 1988] in
Hungary. From this interview we can take a look behind the admired and envied
glittering world of filmmaking. We can come to know Mr. Golan's business
philosophy, professional intent and goals, which within a short time made the
director, Golan, and the Cannon Group, one of the world's greatest film production
and distribution companies. We will get to know the world famous directors and
stars, who bring us the movies of Cannon” |
