Conversation with photographer, documentary film maker Dénes Zoltán – Part II.. Much of his work has been on subjects related to the dance house movement, though he has also been involved in projects documenting architecture in Hungary and ethnography of the peoples of Asia. He worked with film director Szomjas György until his death in 2021 on the series of portrait films on traditional village musicians which then expanded to key figures of the dance house movement. He also frequently works with Sztanó Hédi. Dénes Zoltán first came in contact with the táncház in the mid 1970s. He played in the band that accompanied the folk dance ensemble in Székesfehérvár for 10 years (until 1985), then went on to photography. The number of films listed in his filmography (see article in Hungarian) is impressive. By Grozdits Károly.
