Conversation with folk singer Horváti Kata – main character in the late Szomjas György’s film „Vagabond” (2003). This film was a documentary/fiction film about the dance house movement. „It was important for the main characters in the film to be played by young people from the dance house – not actors….with only slight exaggeration, half the dance house movement was in the film and everyone participated as if it were another dance house event, another adventure.” The film was shown at festivals in Berlin, Moscow, Leeuwarden and in Budapest. Alongside his other projects Szomjas’ continued making documentary films about important figures of the dance house movement until his death. By Grozdits Károly.
