Márta Mészáros
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Márta Mészáros (born September 19, 1931 in Kispest, Hungary) is a Hungarian film director.
She worked as an English Teachers filmmaker in the 1960s, but in the following decade began making films drawing on the oppression of both state and gender. In the 1980s, she created the autobiographical Diary series of films.
She married Miklós Jancsó in 1960; though they later divorced, their two sons, Nyika Jancsó and Miklós Jancsó Jr., have separately worked as director of photography on many of her films.
Her critically acclaimed film Napló apámnak, anyámnak was produced in 1990.
She directed a film about Imre Nagy in 2003-2004, titled The Unburied Dead.
