Premiere at Toldy Cinema (36-38 Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út, Budapest)
Until now, only a very select few could see Tamás Szentjóby`s film, as it was banned in 1975, prior to its completion and final printing. György Durst, secretary of the Béla Balázs Studio at the time, found the confiscated work print in 1983, and immediately made a copy to rescue its value. The digital reconstruction of the seriously damaged film material occurred in 2009 on the initiative of, and coordinated by, the Ludwig Museum / ACAX. The immediate reason for the restoration was the invitation of the film to be a part of the 11th Istanbul Biennial, where its presentation received significant international attention. Kentaur can be seen by the Hungarian audience for the first time in its original and completed form.
